Uma sihlola amakhowe mayelana nokufaneleka kokudla, khona-ke wonke ahlukaniswe ngamaqembu amabili: afanelekile futhi awafanelekile ukusetshenziswa. Ngalinye lala maqembu, futhi, lihlanganisa ama-subspecies amabili, kuye ngokuthi "i-edibility" yalawo makhowe afakwe kuwo. Amakhowe afanelekile angadliwa noma adleke ngokwemibandela, futhi amakhowe angafaneleki angaba amakhowe angadliwayo noma anobuthi. Kufanele kukhunjulwe ukuthi kungase kube nokungafani ekuhlukaniseni. Isibonelo, Ezweni Lethu, ikhowe langempela libhekwa njengekhowe elidliwayo elinemibandela, kodwa entshonalanga yeYurophu liyingxenye yesigaba samakhowe angenakudliwa. Kwenzeka ngokuphambene nalokho. Abantu bakithi abacabangi ngisho nokubheka amakhowe e-oyster, isambulela se-motley noma izinkubabulongwe njengamakhowe, kuyilapho abantu baseYurophu bewaqoqa ngokujabula futhi baze bahlukanise njengezibiliboco. Ngokuvamile, okuningi kuncike emasikweni nasemasikweni. Cabangela isigaba ngasinye samakhowe ngokuningiliziwe.
Amakhowe adliwayo yilawo angenazo nhlobo izinto eziyingozi noma ezingemnandi. Lawa makhowe ane-flavour “yekhowe” futhi ayadliwa noma eluhlaza.
Amakhowe adliwayo ngokombandela awabonakali ngephunga elimnandi kakhulu futhi aqukethe izinto eziyingozi noma ezibabayo. Ungawadla kuphela ngemuva kokwelashwa kwangaphambili (isibonelo, ubilise noma ucwilise), kanye nowomisiwe noma usawoti. Uhlobo ngalunye lwamakhowe lunobuchwepheshe balo obufakazelwe bokucubungula. Isibonelo, i-russula ebabayo noma ama-morels adinga ukupheka imizuzu engu-3-5. Amakhowe amnyama, i-valui noma i-volushki adinga ukuphekwa kancane - imizuzu engu-10-15. Lawa makhowe nawo afaneleka kahle ukufakwa usawoti, kuphela kufanele agcinwe emanzini anosawoti izinsuku ezimbili ngaphambi kwalokho. Kodwa imigqa ibilisiwe kabili: okokuqala imizuzu engu-5-10, bese ishintsha amanzi bese uyishiya esitofu eminye imizuzu engu-15-20. Futhi ngisho nokucutshungulwa ngokucophelela okunjalo akuqinisekisi ukuthi imigqa ayinabungozi ngamaphesenti ayikhulu.
Ezingenakudliwa zihlanganisa labo abameleli bombuso wamakhowe abanokunambitheka okungathandeki kakhulu nephunga, baqukethe izinto eziyingozi. Amakhowe anjalo awakwazi ukuguqulwa abe okudliwayo nganoma yikuphi ukucubungula. Ngakho-ke, azilungiswanga njengesitsha esizimele, kodwa ngezinye izikhathi zisetshenziswa kuphela njengesithokelo.
Futhi ekugcineni, amakhowe anobuthi. Njengoba igama lisho, la makhowe aqukethe izinto ezinobuthi ezibeka ingozi empilweni yomuntu ngisho nokuphila komuntu. Ngokuya ngokuthi amakhowe anobuthi asebenza kanjani emzimbeni, ahlukaniswe abe izinhlobo ezintathu. Iqembu lokuqala amakhowe anesenzo esibizwa ngokuthi sendawo. Lokhu kufaka phakathi i-raincoat yamanga, i-russula ebabayo, amakhowe abomvu, umugqa wengwe namakhowe entwasahlobo (okungaphekwa kahle). Amakhowe anjalo ahlasela isimiso sokugaya ukudla phakathi nemizuzu engu-15-60 ngemva kokungenisa. Izimpawu zihlala kusukela ezinsukwini ezimbili kuya ngesonto, kuye ngezici zomuntu ngamunye. Imiphumela ebulalayo ayivamile, kodwa ayishiywa ngaphandle, ikakhulukazi kubantu abanokuzivikela okubuthakathaka.
Iqembu lesibili lihlanganisa isikhunta esithinta isimiso sezinzwa esiyinhloko, okubangela ukuphazamiseka okuhlukahlukene kulo (kuze kufike ekuboneni nasekuqulekeni). Ukungagayeki kahle kokudla kungase kwenzeke. Izimpawu zokuqala zivela, njengomthetho, esikhathini esiphakathi kwesigamu sehora kuya emahoreni amabili. Amakhowe eqembu lesibili ahlanganisa i-russula vomit, i-hebeloma, i-entolomy, imigqa ethile nemicu, kanye ne-fly agaric eyaziwa kakhulu kuwo wonke umuntu.
Iqembu lesithathu lamakhowe anobuthi liyingozi kakhulu futhi licashile. Baqala umphumela wabo olimazayo we-plasma-toxic emzimbeni ngokushesha ngemva kokudliwa. Kodwa usuku noma ezimbili, awekho ama-alamu abonwayo. Umuntu angase angasoli ngisho nokuthi udliswe ushevu, futhi ubuthi besikhunta sebevele bubulala isibindi kanye (ngezinye izikhathi) namaseli ezinso. Cishe ingxenye eyodwa kwezintathu yalezi zidakamizwa zigcina ngokufa. Iqembu lesithathu lamakhowe lihlanganisa i-spring fly agaric kanye ne-fly agaric ephunga, i-cobweb ebomvu yegazi, i-grebe ephaphathekile, imigqa kanye cishe nawo wonke ama-lobes.
