    ELI5 answer is 90% alcohol dries out the bacteria too fast and it converts into a bacterial spore with a hard shell that protects its insides.

    70% alcohol gives it time to penetrate the cell wall and “dissolve” the insides of the bacteria, either killing it or rendering it non infective.

    For mushrooms the only good advice is, if you don’t know what you are doing, don’t go foraging for mushrooms. Rules and guidelines that apply for one region might not work for another. The risk reward never works out if you’re inexperienced. You either get a tasty treat or incurable certain death. It’s not a great gamble.
