"Killer mushrooms": 10 poisonous mushrooms that hide under beautiful hats (PHOTOS, VIDEO).

Forewarned means armed. Deadly mushrooms can not only cause serious harm to health, but sometimes even take lives.

In Ukraine, and in particular in Transcarpathia, the mushroom season continues. Lovers of "quiet hunting" arm themselves with baskets, buckets and other containers and go into the forest for such coveted edible trophies. But if experienced mushroom pickers understand mushrooms and can easily distinguish edible from poisonous, then amateurs can easily confuse them and bring home poison instead of the coveted delicacy. Therefore, it is worth having knowledge about what dangerous mushrooms look like, so as not to fall into a death trap.

Mushroom hunting is a very enjoyable and exciting activity, but it must be done correctly. Experienced mushroom pickers know what mushrooms can be collected, but beginners can make a mistake and accidentally pick a poisonous mushroom, writes "Unian".

Poisoning with poisonous mushrooms can have various consequences: abdominal pain, vomiting, dizziness, loss of consciousness, convulsions and even death. If you suspect mushroom poisoning, you should immediately consult a doctor. Some mushrooms are deadly.
