Inā mākou e loiloi i nā halo e pili ana i ke kūpono no ka meaʻai, a laila ua māhele ʻia lākou a pau i ʻelua pūʻulu: kūpono a kūpono ʻole no ka ʻai. ʻO kēlā me kēia o kēia mau pūʻulu, ʻelua mau subspecies, e pili ana i ke kiʻekiʻe o ka "edibility" o kēlā mau halo i hoʻokomo ʻia i loko. Hiki ke ʻai ʻia nā halo kūpono a i ʻole nā haohao kūpono ʻole ke ʻai ʻia a i ʻole nā mea ʻawaʻawa. Pono e hoʻomanaʻo ʻia aia paha nā ʻokoʻa i ka hoʻokaʻawale ʻana. No ka laʻana, ma ko mākou ʻāina, ua manaʻo ʻia kahi ʻala maoli he ʻano ʻai ʻai, akā ma ke komohana o ʻEulopa aia ia i ka ʻāpana o nā halo hiki ʻole ke ʻai. Hiki nō hoʻi ia ma hope. ʻAʻole noʻonoʻo ko mākou poʻe i nā halo oyster, kahi umbrella motley a i ʻole nā pipi lepo he mau halo, ʻoiai ʻo ka poʻe ʻEulopa e hōʻiliʻili iā lākou me ka leʻaleʻa a hoʻokaʻawale iā lākou i nā mea ʻono. Ma keʻano laulā, pili ka nui i ka moʻomeheu a me nā kuʻuna. E noʻonoʻo i kēlā me kēia māhele o nā halo i nā kikoʻī hou aku.
ʻO nā halo ʻai ʻia nā mea ʻaʻohe mea ʻino a maikaʻi ʻole paha. Loaʻa i kēia mau halo ke ʻano ʻono "mushroom" a hiki ke ʻai ʻia i ka wā maka.
ʻAʻole ʻike ʻia ka ʻala ʻoluʻolu a loaʻa nā mea ʻino a i ʻole nā mea ʻawaʻawa. Hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻai iā lākou ma hope o ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa mua ʻana (no ka laʻana, paila a soak), a me ka maloʻo a i ʻole ka paʻakai. Loaʻa i kēlā me kēia ʻano ʻano halo kāna ʻenehana hana ponoʻī. No ka laʻana, makemake ka russula ʻawaʻawa a i ʻole morels i ka kuke no 3-5 mau minuke. Pono e hoʻomoʻa liʻiliʻi i nā halo ʻeleʻele, valui a volushki paha - 10-15 mau minuke. Ua kūpono hoʻi kēia mau halo no ka paʻakai, akā pono e mālama ʻia i loko o ka wai paʻakai no ʻelua lā ma mua o kēlā. Akā, ua hoʻolapalapaʻia nā laina iʻelua manawa: mua no 5-10 mau minuke, a laila hoʻololi lākou i ka wai a waiho ma luna o ke kapuahi no kekahi mau minuke 15-20. ʻAʻole ʻo ia kaʻina hana pono e hōʻoiaʻiʻo i hoʻokahi haneli ka nui o ka pōʻino o nā laina.
ʻO ka mea hiki ʻole ke komo i kēlā mau ʻelele o ke aupuni mushroom i loaʻa kahi ʻono maikaʻi ʻole a me ka ʻala, aia nā mea ʻino. ʻAʻole hiki ke hoʻololi ʻia kēlā mau halo i mea ʻai e kekahi hana. No laila,ʻaʻole lākou i hoʻomākaukauʻia ma keʻano he kīʻaha kūʻokoʻa, akā i kekahi manawa hoʻohanaʻia e like me ka mea hoʻonani.
A ʻo ka hope, ʻo nā halo ʻawaʻawa. E like me ka manaʻo o ka inoa, aia kēia mau halo i nā mea ʻawaʻawa e hoʻopilikia ai i ke olakino kanaka a me ke ola kanaka. Ma muli o ke ʻano o ka hana ʻana o nā halo ʻawaʻawa i ke kino, ua māhele ʻia lākou i ʻekolu ʻano. ʻO ka hui mua he mau halo me ka mea i kapa ʻia he hana kūloko. ʻO kēia mau mea he ʻaʻahu ua wahaheʻe, kekahi russula ʻawaʻawa, ʻulaʻula, lālani tiger a me nā halo puna (undercooked). Paʻi kēlā mau halo i ka ʻōnaehana digestive i loko o 15-60 mau minuke ma hope o ka ʻai ʻana. Loaʻa nā hōʻailona mai ʻelua lā a i hoʻokahi pule, ma muli o nā ʻano pilikino o ke kino. ʻAʻole i hoʻokaʻawale ʻia nā hopena make, ʻoi aku hoʻi i nā poʻe me ka nawaliwali o ke kino.
ʻO ka pūʻulu ʻelua e pili ana i nā fungi e pili ana i ka ʻōnaehana nerve waena, e hoʻopilikia i nā maʻi like ʻole (a hiki i ka hallucinations a me ka maule). Hiki nō hoʻi ke ʻai ʻai nui. Hōʻike ʻia nā hōʻailona mua, ma ke ʻano he kānāwai, i ka wā o ka hapalua hola a ʻelua mau hola. ʻO nā halo o ka lua o ka pūʻulu he russula vomit, hebeloma, entolomy, kekahi mau lālani a me nā fibers, a me ka lele agaric i ʻike nui ʻia e nā mea a pau.
ʻO ke kolu o ka hui o nā haloʻawaʻawa ka mea weliweli loa a me ka insidious. Hoʻomaka lākou i kā lākou hopena plasma-toxic i ke kino ma hope koke o ka ʻai ʻana. Akā no hoʻokahi lā a ʻelua paha, ʻaʻole ʻike ʻia nā ʻōuli. ʻAʻole paha i manaʻo kekahi kanaka ua ʻona ʻo ia, a ke pepehi nei nā mea ʻawaʻawa i ke ake a me (i kekahi manawa) nā pūnaewele puʻupaʻa. Ma kahi o ka hapakolu o kēia mau lāʻau ʻawaʻawa e pau i ka make. ʻO ke kolu o ka hui o nā halo, ʻo ia hoʻi ka puna puna agaric a me ka ʻala ʻala, ka ʻulaʻula ʻulaʻula, ka pale grebe, nā laina a kokoke i nā lobes.
