Blue grey spots on drying psilocybin mushrooms - safe to eat?
    #20976848 - 12/14/14 07:56 PM (9 years, 5 months ago)

Ive never grown mushrooms prior to this experience, so I have no idea how normal this coloring/affect is during the drying process.  There are very noticeable blue grey spots on the mushrooms, also some bronzish silvery spots.  The mushrooms did show some bluing when bruised and handled after being harvested, but this blue grey thing appeared while drying (or failing to dry them under the conditions I set up) and I recognize it as different.  When I put them in a desiccant set up to dry them, 3 days later they still had moisture in them.  So I put them into a low temp oven (95-105F).  Now they are cracker dry.  Is it safe to eat these?  or should they be thrown out?  Is this some sort of mold?  has the oven drying killed the mold on these, if they are indeed mold afflicted?  can a mushroom tea be made from them if simply eating them is undesireable in this ostensibly moldy state? Please let me know your thoughts.  Thanks in advance

Yeah I believe the black was from the oven drying afterwards.  What type of invasive mold could this be?  I guess the desiccant method is only effective after being predried in oven or in front of a fan first?

most cubes bruise dark blue/green when disturbed. This looks to me like a mushroom that has bruised and dried. The all black ones are probably fine too although if you're even the least bit concerned, it may be best to avoid them more because of how your concern could affect the experience than for any other reason.

They're fine. Get a food dehydrator for future grows.
