According to nutritionist Sania Kiyani, mushrooms are an important part of our daily diet, used in a variety of dishes from home kitchens to restaurants. They are not only an excellent source of vitamins but are also used medicinally to treat various illnesses.
She says that although mushrooms are beneficial for health, it is essential to ensure they are not poisonous before consumption — because toxic mushrooms often appear beautiful and resemble regular edible ones, making them hard to identify.
Sania Kiyani explains that there are some signs that can help with initial identification, but she advises not to pick or touch wild mushrooms growing along footpaths, in backyards, or open safe use, she recommends buying only mushrooms with verified labels.
