Poisonous mushrooms are often wild and beautiful in appearance, resembling edible mushrooms, which makes them difficult to identify. Nutritionist Sania Kiyani says there are some signs that can help with early identification, but she advises against picking or touching wild mushrooms that grow in backyards, along footpaths, or in open fields. Instead, she recommends purchasing only mushrooms with verified labels. Listen to more details in this podcast.
