Dark colour caps
    #14587510 - 06/09/11 08:31 PM (12 years, 7 months ago)

Hey all

My friend found a bunch of subs that were getting close to being past their use by date. They seemed fine though, no bad smells or anything, he didn't pick the ones that were obviously rotting.
So he dried them out, but they seem to be a different colour to other ones he found in the wilderness that were a lot fresher.

So, how do you know when a mushroom has crossed the line from edible to inedible?

Aside from being darker and just generally looking less fresh, there was no mold or bad smell or rotting visible on the ones he picked.

Any advice?

Thanks

If they were dryed properly (cracker dry, snap when u bend them) and kept in the frezer then they will last for years, except they will start to loose potancy after 1-2 years. If they were not dryed properley (still kinda soft in the center) and just kept in a bag in a closet then ur lucky if they last 3 months. U can tell when theyr not edible cause they will look slightly rotted, not talking about the black spores or the bruising but they will look like shit, some times they will start to slightly turn green on the stems or some other color and that usually means their garbage. They might or might not get u sick cause this has happened to me a couple of times, and my worst experiance is some slight stomach pain while my buddys threw up a couple of times. Seriously the key is to properly dry and store them cause then their is no doubt and ull have a great time.

Thanks very much for the info. They dried fine, I was more asking about how they should be before being picked. But I think you answered that.
