I had fresh mushrooms in a jar in my fridge the past few days decided I needed to dry them out had them by a fan by the oven. They turned black. From now on I'm going to put the fan on them immediately and I'm going to buy desiccant tommorow but as for these nasty black still not entirely dried out shrooms can I make like tea out of em then freeze it or are they just garbage

This was them yesterday morning and my kitchens small so I turned my oven on and opened the door so the room got hot. I also took my ac unit and just put the hi fan on put the mushies right by the fan. They got kinda dry. Me and a friend ate some last night and I was looking at em seeing if they were wet inside there still a little wet they got much smaller, a lot of water definantly came out I don't know why they turned black. I think I'm gunna make tea and freeze the tea. I have a lot more growing and my girl bought me a regular fan she's coming home with tonight. Ima.buy desiccant if they have it at wallmart tommorow. So hopefully my other ones come out fine I just wanted to make sure it wasn't dangerous to eat them. I also don't know why it happened they were wet and in my fridge for a few day but they looked fine when I started drying them. I don't think my drying method was that bad for this to happen. There weird shapped mushrooms there KSSS there like these small fat little guys

Fungi are food. If it smells bad, toss em. Just like you would with fruits/ veggies/ or meat

It looks to me like they're black because you let them go too long and they deposited spores. They should be fine.

No those came off pf cakes and there still fruiting and the mushrooms look fine I just was collecting them and putting them in a jar and keeping the jar in the fridge for like a week so I decided I needed to dry them and that's what they turned Into

Here's a pic of a few other fruits these were picked today and I started to dry them like I dried these but I stopped like 20 mins in cuz there kinda like starting to bruise too.
I'm new to growing but I haven't had any problems so far and now it's drying that's throwing me for a loop I got to figure this out though cuz I have a monotub fruiting right now same strain and ima be picking a shit ton of mushrooms off of it in the next few days and I don't want them to all end up black too. Like I said before my girl bought a fan today so I won't be using my ac unit and I'm gunna stop with the heat altogether and buy some desiccant and I'm not gunna put of drying ill dry right after I pick hopefully that's all I need to do to rectify this. Thx

bruising is normal and it isn't an indicator of potency loss so you should be good.
