I think my drying mushrooms are rotting :S?
    #14374213 - 04/29/11 07:11 PM (12 years, 8 months ago)

I picked a few nice patches, left them in a sealed container for a night because I didn't have a chance to dry them out.

I put them under a fan this morning and found a quarter to maybe half of the shrooms I had looked like they are beginning to rot.

They're going black-ish in spots and are still damp.
Others are just normal colour just smaller.

So anyway, needless to say i've chucked out the ones that have black on them and are drying the rest out.


So my question is, how can you tell when your shrooms are rotting while you're drying them?

And also, how will I tell that my shrooms are 100% completely dry :O?
Any help is greatly appreciated.


phewww <_< lucky I have two buckets of damp rid for after this fan or I might've been in trouble :O

They rotted because you sealed them up when they where freshy picked? come on man.
Once you harvest you want a fan on them till there dry then use desiccant to get them cracker.
During drying i expierienced no bruising/blacking. They just turned a gold color.

Cracker dry, they snap as well as a few particles splinter or drop off durning the snap.
If you dont have time to deal with them at least put them on a plate next to a fan or vent.

I wouldn't be afraid of the blackness unless it's slimy.  I would then just rinse again and cut out the 'bad' parts.  No need to throw away.  Also, if you can't dry, put a paper towel in a tupperware with your CLEAN fruits and keep in the fridge until drying (short time only though).  May want to invest in a dehydrator.

next time either just let the shrooms grow until the next day (preferable), or store them in a brown paper bag overnight.

I would take a knife to the stipes of your shrooms, cut a slit on like 3/4 of it.  if black shit comes out theyre rotting, if not it will help them dry out faster anyways.

You didnt understand me, I meant if hes going to pick the mushrooms at night and not try and dry them till morning, he should definitely put them in a brown paper bag overnight until he can put a fan or w/e on them the next day
