 Purple/Blue when dried...

Ok, so im at the final stages of a Pink Buffalo cake. Rye just cased with Verm/Peat/Lime.
But what problem im having is purple/blue shrooms when dried and such. As i said, this isnt my first flush... i've dried and tripped 9 grams so far. But my last 8th that i dried, went totally blue! Like... not brusing from handling or anything, i mean the whole mushroom was a dark blue. What would cause this?
My drying method is Air dry for awhile till they feel cracker dry... then put em in silicone drying bag (A silicone drying thing for closets in a bag) to pull the moisture out, then air dry some more, and let them sit back in the bag till they are really cracker dry. Some go blue, some dont. Its weird... could it have something to do with spores? A few of my shrooms got PLASTERED with spores the other day... funny shit, wished i took a pic... but whats weird is i've seen shrooms that have spores on them after they've been dried, and they still dont compair to these. I'll work on getting a decent picture, but as i said, i dont have my last 8th of BLUE shrooms... they got ate!
Also, i've been told keeping mushrooms in a plastic bag "Sweats" them. I was curious as to the truths behind this...
Thanks!

lol
Pink Buffalo are the shit 
fasted cube name sake straight from multi-spore, I've been working with them for the last two months now, grew them out once before about four years ago...
Meaty bastards aren't they? not sure why yours are bruising purple, it may just be spores dropping while you're drying them and then hardening onto them, I've had that happen a few times.

The blue is bruising and the purple is spores.

you can make silica gel packetts by: purchasing pure silica gel crystals in the form of kitty litter, but you have to read the ingredients and make sure its the pure silica gel crystals. none of that other shit mixed in. empty tea bags and fill them with the silica. tape off the opening. then you have pure silica gel desiccant packs. you can put these in your bags while you store them till you need them. if any moisture is left, this will take care of your babys.

Could get a food dehydrator :-D
I've got a nice nesco dehydrator that has adjusted temp and lots of trays.

Thanks. And yea, i love PB. Im trying spore prints... but just going off what i've been told and not even sure if they're viable. Oh well, im planning on ordering a few more spores soon... even tho my G2G's been going good  .
I gota finish up some homework im working on then i'll get some pics.
And thanks for the kitty litter trick, i just bought a silica form of "Damp Rid" cause its all walmart had. But at work i can pick up damp rid which is reuseable so IMO its better  Not to mention i get a discount!
