Dried mushrooms contaminated? [Help]
    #18868878 - 09/20/13 05:59 PM (10 years, 4 months ago)

I dried my mushrooms using a fan for around 4 days. I was stupid and didn't use desiccant, but they we're still dry. Anyways, some of the mushrooms are a bit light grey om the stems, is this some kind of mold or is it normal? I don't remember if they we're this way when i put them in the mason jar, thats why I'm asking)

I'll put up som pictures, I'd really appreciate the help. :smile:

They look fine. Make sure they're completely cracker dry before you store them in a container. Cracker dry meaning that if you wanted to crumble them into a powder you'd be able to do it. Assuming they not contaminated before harvest, mushrooms sitting out in the open air are not going get moldy, dry or not.

Thanks for your answer, now i can feel safe eating them.

Is it possible to take them out and put them in silica gel to be completely sure? They still bend a little bit before snapping, but they seem dry inside.

Yes. No doubt the're mostly dry after 4 days of the fan but usually a desiccant or heat is needed to dry them the rest of the way.
