Drying entire cake and mushrooms together?
    #6673487 - 03/15/07 04:08 PM (17 years, 8 days ago)

Has anyone tried trying a fruiting cake without having picked off the mushrooms? Since shrooms start deteriorating almost as soon as they're picked wouldn't drying them while they were still growing (for a while at least)keep them more potent? You'd kill the cake but who cares after a couple of flushes?

that doesnt make much sense to me, but thats just me
I doubt (but unsure) that mushrooms lose potency after being picked and dried right away, it wouldnt make sense
plus if they were growing while you were drying them, obviously drying them would halt the growth man

cakes dry out pretty quick actually... i've dried them out and made myco-tea with them. overall not that unpleasant.

try it out of you want to. it might help to cut the cake in half or even 4 parts. It doesnt seem all that practical if your just trying to preserve mushroom potency though. drying them out would lose a lot more potency than the time it takes you to harvest them and put them on the drying rack.

its not the time it takes them to dry that makes them lose potency, its the oxidation.

so overall, throw your cakes outside and bury them and hope for some more flushes! :crazy2:

The mushrooms don't decay when you pick them. They're 90% water, so as they dry, they shrivel up and look ugly is all. If they stayed attached to the cake, it would slow down the drying process and they would over-mature and possibly create the problem you're trying to avoid.
