Poisonous mushrooms of Russia

For the first time in one illustrated reference book, all the poisonous mushrooms of Russia (more than 150 species) are listed and examined in detail. Here you will find not only well-known deadly poisonous mushrooms that cause damage to the kidneys, liver or nervous system, or slightly poisonous ones that can only cause gastrointestinal disorders, but also less well-known (although no less dangerous) allergenic mushrooms, mushrooms that cause destruction of blood cells and muscles, psychotropic (hallucinogenic) and many others.
.
Much attention is paid to controversial topics: whether burning milkweeds and bitter cheese are poisonous; whether it is necessary to boil morels; whether lines, green leaves, oak trees, umbrellas and other species with a complex reputation can cause poisoning; what to do with a pig; which mushrooms are dangerous when consumed with alcohol; what is the real threat hallucinogenic mushrooms; for what reasons edible mushrooms can exhibit poisonous properties; which edible mushrooms are mistakenly considered poisonous — and a number of others.
.
The book describes in detail the toxic substances of mushrooms, describes their effect on the human body, provides modern methods of treating mushroom poisoning and recommendations for avoiding the collection and consumption of poisonous mushrooms.
.
The book will be useful not only for Russian mushroom pickers, but also for mycologists and toxicologists, as it contains the most up-to-date information that has not yet been reflected in Russian publications.
