    #12583962 - 05/18/10 06:44 AM (14 years, 7 months ago)

Should be fine, the color is probably bruising.

i will take some better pictures this afternoon. The only thing that worries me is that they gray looking material that i cant best describe is almost like dust that was built up and you can brush it out of the stem.

Sounds pretty normal for the inside of a stem.
Mushrooms looked good at harvest, yes? Dried quickly and thoroughly?

Hello,

Yes the mushrooms looked perfect when I harvested I harvested right when veil broke so they haven't been sitting long or anything and yeah they dried quickly and with a few of them I took off the dehydrator I pushed my fingers in the stems and it broke just like a cracker would.

Ok here is where i'm drawing a blank I want to hear just from you guys what you think should I vacuum seal these and store in a drawer or in the freezer should I not vacuum seal and use a different method I've used search but am wondering on your opinions since you've helped me all along the way. They will be cracker dry none of the shrooms i'm storing will be fresh.

I just dry them and store them in a mason jar at room temp and they last years. Its fine to vacuum seal them, I am against storing in the freezer, due to condensation from taking it in and out. Room temp is fine

yea thats fine some times the matter is sand color usually white but either way if they dried in a dehydrator then its extremely unlikely anything went bad. but in the future you could always cut your mushrooms in half lengthwise first.

ps. the color you dont want to see is black and if you see that color youll smell it too.

Just a tip, if you split the mushrooms long ways before drying they dry much, much faster. 

I don't see anything wrong in any of the pictures, so you should be fine.

my mushies look just like that and then I find the wet spot....bacteria. The outside look a little bluer than they should. if you see an extra blue mushroom, squeeze it and brown gunk oozes out...wet spot

That is by no means a way to decipher wet spot, mushrooms can have no staining you know

well, you would certainly hope to catch it before then. Also thats what I call it, it could be something else, but the brown juice in the stem=bad. looks like this guy dried his brown juice
