Blending a mushroom smoothie... (Questions)

so i harvested some shroomers yesterday and i put them in an air tight container overnight. I don't have a way to dry them as i am staying at a friends house.
I thought about oven drying, but from what i have read you need to have a fan blowing into the oven which i can't do.
so here are some of my questions- 1- how long can they sit in an airtight container without going bad? 2- best way to take (relatively) fresh shrooms without the taste? 3- what are your experiences with oven drying? 4- would blending a smoothie work, or would they have to be dried first?

First time I picked some of my own shrooms, I stir fried them with butter and garlic. The second time, I used one container strawberry/banana yogurt, a whole banana, juice of one lemon, and 1/2 cup of apple juice. Oh, also 20 grams of fresh cubes. Blend and drink.

Thanks, how long do you think until non-dried shrooms will go bad?

I can't speak to actives degrading, but as a Chef, I know mushrooms will stay fresh in the refrigerator for about a week at the longest.

Good to know, have you ever tried chopping them up and putting them in some ice cream? just a random idea xD

I've done it without a fan, just crack the oven door and prop them up on a cookie sheet. A fan will help quite a bit though. Get a $5.00 fan from a store to help speed it along.

1- how long can they sit in an airtight container without going bad?
They will go bad very quickly doing this. Put them in a paper bag in the fridge, the fridge should actually help dry them out a bit too.

2- best way to take (relatively) fresh shrooms without the taste?
I don't like tea, but my girl made me some tea with fresh cubes with some honey and normal tealeaves thrown in. Chopped a normal dose of shrooms (i did about an 1/8, add more for more people) add enough water for a coffee cup or two just enough to cover solids. Brought a low simmer, threw in cubes, tea, and honey. Simmered for bout ten minutes, then strained. Tasted great, and started feeling it before I was even done with my second cup.

3- what are your experiences with oven drying?
I've done it with cookie cooling racks and fans. Works, just a pain in the ass. I have a dehydrator now.
Quote:
4- would blending a smoothie work, or would they have to be dried first?
They taste better wet, but still a shroom milkshake sounds terrible. Ewww. I would just saute them up fresh with some butter, garlic, and white wine. Eat em plain or throw them on an already cooked pizza or bagel.
Best way to avoid the taste of shrooms is to dry em, powder em, and throw them into some melted chocolate then set in icecube trays. Can get quite a bit into one indivdual ice cube sized chocolate.
