HELP! I Dont know if my shrooms went bad!
    #21574392 - 04/21/15 05:31 AM (9 years, 29 days ago)

Hey!

I harvested my first flush of shrooms and I set them out to fan dry for a couple days. I then put them in a air tight jar with a silica gel packet. I went away for a couple days and when i came back the silica gel pack was wet and the shrooms smelled strong.
I have no clue if they went bad or if they are supposed to smell that way. All the shrooms are cracker dry, but some of the shrooms that were touching the silica gel packet are a bit moist. Im worried as fuck.

Please help,

Thanks,

Shroomamooma.

Update, they dont smell as strong once I took them out of the jar. But I'm still worried. What are the signs that the shrooms have gone bad?

If it's only been a couple days and they're mostly dry, they should be fine.  Re-dry the ones with the soggy parts then put them back into storage.  Sometimes mine will start going soft after I put them in the bag...just means I didn't get them all the way dry the first time.

I once made the mistake to skip the air drying and go directly to the desiccant. They smelled strong and were blue. How do your mushrooms look?

Wilting,rot, mold etc its fairly obvious when they are bad. If they are truly cracker dry they are probably OK. Skip the desiccant next time maybe

The mushrooms look fine so I think they should be good. Were your shrooms okay even though they smelled strong?
