Okay to Ingest?
    #14394081 - 05/03/11 11:56 AM (12 years, 8 months ago)

Hey,

I've had some mushrooms air drying for about 5-7 days.  I've noticed the gills have turned black. Also noticed the caps developed a fine black dust/powder. Any cause for concern before ingesting?



Many thanks,
Rags

The caps on mine always look the same when they are dried.

To get the substrate off of the bottom of the stems, just rub the stem between your fingers over a plate or the sink.  The WBS and other substrate pieces will fall off.  Just be gentle so you don't break off the stem.

looks like a lot of extra mycelium connected to the mushrooms.

Agreed.  OP, in the future, you can help prevent this by twisting as you pluck the fruit.
