White mold on my dry shrooms, is it poisonous? * 1
    #8554706 - 06/23/08 02:54 PM (15 years, 8 months ago)

I recently got a large amount of shrooms from a friend of mine, they seemed fine until at closer inspection i found white mold on some of the mushrooms.  I know mycellium can grow on them after theyve been picked, but im not sure whether its mycellium or some other type of poisonous mold that could harm or possibly kill me :x Ne Ideas?

Yea I dont know Ive eaten shrooms that had way less mold on them than that and I felt like I had the worst flu ever for 6 hours but I was still tripping balls so it was hell.  You might be ok you might get sick but honestly I couldnt stomach those man I mean cmon look at the one on the right its disgusting.

if an apple had the same mold on it would you eat that?  i know it sucks to throw out actives  but like PG described i think its better to not trip then have a bad trip like that. If you must consume those id suggest you at least make some tea and HOPE that kills the mold but i would just go through the batch and chuck the nastys.

I don't see any mold.  What are you guys seeing that I can't?  The pictures are out of focus, but the blue looks like bruising.

In addition, no blue or green molds common to mushroom cultivation are harmful when eaten.  What do you think makes blue cheese salad dressing blue?  Mold.  It's food.

I could be entirely wrong and they could be just fine, But I"m sorry RR your rational is both dumb and dangerous especially on a mushroom forum. you ought to follow the same rules for molds as you would for any other fungus.

IF YOU DON"T KNOW WHAT IT IS DON"T EAT IT.

there are molds that produce mycotoxins which can make you sick, while normally the worst u get is probably your typical food poisoning, but a trip while sitting on the shitter with a trash can in front of you is not my idea of a good time.

if you do in fact have such a large amount maybe set the suspect aside if the "mold" neither progress or digresses (decomposes) in growth then its probably nothing.

I had the EXACT same stuff on an eighth I received from some fellow.

I didn't search or anything, but decided to eat it anyways.

I had a fine trip, normal nausea, level 3 trip.

Just my $.02

Did you ever end up eating them and if you did how did it turn out?

Yea I think I have the same problem with some of my shrooms... Basically didn't dry them enough before putting them in air-tight container with desiccant... and that white mold got at them.


They look funky, and not really healthy... But is white mold really bad ? what if you dry them really well and scrap it off ?

So did you eat them ?

Before you call me dumb, you should seriously learn to tell the difference between mold and bruising, which you obviously haven't learned yet.  It's extremely common around here for new growers to not know the difference, as both you and the original poster have proved, by confusing blue bruising with mold.  However, the original poster didn't call anyone dumb due to his own inexperience.

I see a lot of people suggesting throwing them away. Even though the are safe to eat. But if they where not all it would take is a quick methanol extraction and you will have pure alkaloids(such a vague word) and no contam.

First I didnt call you dumb. I said your rational was dumb. don't take that as personal attack. it wasn't and wasn't intended to be.  i was merely saying that the logical agruement you used was IMO invalid.

And as you stated the pictures were out of focus. therfore difficult to distinquish the details. but if you read the OP the mold he was questioning was not the blue, but rather white mold.

i also aknowledged the posibliity that there was nothing at all wrong with them, id was merely saying its better to err on the side of caution. if you think theres mold on something you didn't inted for mold to be on why eat it? just because its on a musroom suddenly all normal logic gets thrown out?

again it was not you that i was adressing but rather the rational or concept of reason you put forth. i felt it was invalid and potentionally dagerous, and therefore a dumb thing to say to someone with limited knowledge of the subject. just because some mold are edible doesn't mean you should eat someting you think has mold on it. some mushrooms are edible but it is irrational to assume that because some are you can eat any mushroom. the general rule of thumb is if you can't identify it don't eat it.  likewise some mold is edible but it is irrational to therefore assume that all mold is edible, seeing as we couldn't possibly identify this suspected mold, why chance it?  food poisoning while tripping just doesnt sound fun to me.

Dude you should either get your eyes or your IQ checked...  But either way you don't know what you're talking about.  Sure the picture is a little blurry, but if you knew anything at all about shrooms, you could CLEARLY see the white fuzz growing all over the shrooms in his picture.  Its not even close to blue, looks nothing like bruising, is in all the wrong places, and you fail.  By the look of those shrooms I'd say someone would get a tad sick depending on their stomach, but its definitely white mould.  I'm replying a year later because I don't want someone else making the same ridiculous mistake.

You bumped a year old thread to insult probably one of the most knowledgable guys on the subject of growing shrooms on this forum:lol:.
