BEIJING, June 11 -- Ten types of beautiful mushroom will be shown in following photos. Some of them look really delicious but don't even think of eating them, they are deadly poisonous! Even worms and bugs keep their distance from these angels-of-death.

1. BRAIN MUSHROOM

The Gyromitra esculenta, which is also known as a false morel or brain mushroom (given its convoluted surface), can be deadly when consumed raw. Although some in Spain, Sweden and other countries continue to cook and eat them, G. esculenta is suspected to be moderately toxic. Unlike many other poisonous mushrooms, the Gyromitra genus often causes neurological symptoms—including comas—as well as gastrointestinal indications.(Photo: CCTV.com) Photo Gallery>>>
