In the coniferous forests a red cobweb grows. It does not particularly resemble the species of edible mushrooms, but it is worth knowing about it, because the poison of the cobweb is deadly. The color of the fungus can vary from reddish to ginger and even brown. The hat is small, its diameter is about 2-8 cm. Cobwebs are found in deciduous forests, they have a lighter color. One of the signs that you have stumbled upon a cobweb is the pungent smell of radish.

The hat has a convex shape of gray-white color, yellowish plates under the hat become slightly pink with age, the flesh of the Veruska is white and dense to the touch, there is no ring on the leg. The poison of this fungus is fatal.

Mushroom fiberglass is very similar to an edible mushroom row. It grows in deciduous forests. The young fiber has a white hat, with age it becomes yellow-brown. The plates under the hat can have a different shade, from whitish to olive brown. If you cut a piece of mushroom, then the cut will turn red. There is no ring on the fiber leg. Poisoning with this fungus causes delirium, blindness and death.

Probably everyone heard about the pale grebe. Many may confuse it with champignon. This mushroom grows almost everywhere. There is a skirt on the leg of the white grebe, but it is practically not noticeable in young mushrooms. Symptoms of pale toadstool poisoning appear after about 12 hours, sometimes only after a day. The victim begins to suffer from cramps, thirst, diarrhea. After a while, the person’s condition improves, but then the liver is destroyed and without medical help the poisoned person dies. There is no specific antidote to date, you can improve the condition only by removing intoxication.
note
Edible species of mushrooms can grow in the same area with poisonous doubles, be very careful.
