Five rumors about mushrooms being "toxic" in one go

It can be said that "mushrooms can accumulate heavy metals and cannot be eaten more" and so on

Rumor 1: enrichment does not mean enrichment

Mushroom is a common name for edible large fungi, including mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, enoki mushrooms and many other varieties

In the same soil environment, mushrooms have a stronger ability to accumulate heavy metals than vegetables and fruits.

But this does not mean that mushrooms must be rich in heavy metals, because mushrooms are rich in heavy metals only when they grow in an environment with a high content of heavy metals

Rumor 2: Artificially grown mushrooms are rich in heavy metals

Mushrooms can be grown naturally and artificially.

Mushroom cultivation in modern agriculture mostly uses soilless cultivation, that is, using some substrates such as straw, cotton grains, bran, etc.

Rumor 3: The mushrooms grown now contain high levels of heavy metals

Now the cultivation of mushrooms is different from the past, seldom use soil cultivation and cultivation, but use soilless cultivation technology for cultivation

In the process of soilless cultivation, the raw materials are strictly tested, and the cultivation medium is controlled to prevent the mushrooms from being polluted by heavy metals

Therefore, the mushrooms we eat generally do not accumulate heavy metals

Rumor 4: Wild mushrooms do not contain heavy metals

Compared with artificially cultivated mushrooms, wild mushrooms grow freely in the wild environment.

Rumor 5: Mushrooms can't be eaten

Mushrooms are delicious, have high nutritional value, contain a variety of amino acids and vitamins, and have low energy
