Can anybody help me identify this contam?
    #19302333 - 12/20/13 11:03 AM (10 years, 1 month ago)

A friend who has been growing put a batch of mushies to dry... According to him he dried them properly and them put them in a ziploc bag inside the refrigerator. The mushrooms now look like like that they have developped some kind of lightly fuzzy white spots, I have a picture, it's not the best picture ever, but at least it's not blurry.




I have seen this same contamination in commercially available mushrooms bought at the supermarket (they were dry, but I didn't consume them at the time in fear it was something bad).

Does someone know what these little white spots are? Are they safe to eat? I told my friend to NOT EAT THEM, just in case.

Please help! Thank you in advance.

Spores germinating?

Looks like dried mycelium to me. They were dried, got moist, and maybe dried again? Condensation from moving in and out of fridge/freezer can do this.

I'm not sure how they smell, since I can't go smell them at this very moment... According to my friend they don't smell bad, but he's no expert so I don't know if I can trust him on this one.

I hope you're right, I'm going to be inspecting these mushrooms personally in about 2 weeks from now.

I'm skeptic about the spores germinating, they were in a cold setting (refrigerator) and they couldn't have germinated so fast.

When my friend told me about this I told him to take them immediately out to dry, but I'm still worried because I'm not sure if this could cause unwanted effects if consumed.
