Today a little unconventional about mushrooms, because the story that the red fly agaric is red and has white dots has become boring.
Of course, photos will always, regardless of the content, be different and original for everyone and will carry some value.
Recently, there has been quite a lot of talk about the fly agaric, because it is a mushroom that raises a lot of controversy when it comes to its usefulness.
There are more and more opinions and articles about the properties of this 'poisonous' mushroom. They mainly mention the medicinal use of this species. Is it possible that a poisonous mushroom can effectively heal? It can certainly put enthusiasts of this type of inventions in a good mood.
It really all depends on the quantity. In the case of phalloides, small amounts are enough to irreversibly destroy the liver and lead the body to agony. Often, without a liver transplant, the chances of survival are almost zero. The red toadstool is a bit different.
The alkaloid compounds in the mushroom, mainly muscarine and ibotenic acid, cause hallucinations and induce a narcotic mood. It has been calculated that an adult man, in order to die from eating a toadstool, would have to eat several pieces of it raw, which is of course unlikely, but possible.
Cooked mushrooms are already much less toxic. Dried red fly agaric is also not as poisonous as fresh specimens. Ibotenic acid during drying (as a result of the decarboxylation process) is transformed into less toxic muscimol.
But, for example, eating a kilogram of apple seeds can also cause death, due to the high content of cyanide compounds, but no one says that apples can be poisonous.
The latest hit is fly agaric tincture but for external use. It is said to have an analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect, indicated mainly for people with diseases of the skeletal system, joints, venous problems, varicose veins.
Of course, I do not encourage you to experiment with mushrooms, I am providing this information to encourage reading professional literature and discussion.
