Fresh picked mushroom has black spot on top of cap?
    #18996737 - 10/18/13 06:09 PM (11 years, 2 months ago)

i would like some help from anyone who knows what this is or has experienced something similar. i have just picked 8 mushrooms (from the first flush) that were finished growing they all looked great but after examining them closer i noticed one that has a wet black spot on the very top of the cap about the size of a dime. i am just unsure about what this is and if its safe to ingest. i have the mushrooms stored in the fridge in a paper bag until next weekend but if the black spot spreads I'm throwing it out lol just to be safe. any feedback would be greatly appreciated. i will try to find a camera to take a picture so you can get a better idea of whats going on thanks

You can cut out that black spot and be safe. That's a solvable case of bacterial blotch on the cap. Use a knife or remove the whole contaminated section.

If I understood, you're keeping them in the fridge fresh. Using a paper bag isn't probably the best idea. I would use a big glass jar and close them inside. The fridge is probably one of the most contam harboring places in your house when it's not properly clean. Storing mushrooms, inside an insulated container in the fridge, is the best you can do to keep contams away.

edit: I would keep fresh mushroom stored in the fridge for 3 or 4 days max. Anything longer it's better to just dried them out.
