Contamination?
    #21709990 - 05/22/15 10:33 AM (8 years, 8 months ago)

On my second grow I made some questionable decisions in the drying process.  First flush was beautiful but i didn't have a large enough drying chamber to accommodate, so instead of doing something intelligent, i stacked them.  Shortly after, they began to have white growth on them.  I corrected my drying methods after but I have about 2 ounces of mushrooms with this white growth on it.  It looks to me like they were reverting, and having fully dried they smell more or less the same, if only a bit stronger.  Is it safe?(Clerks reference, I'm not asking for assurances).

Since the caps are open, they have sporulated, I'm guessing the spores germinated and started forming mycelium but then dried out.
I'd guess it's only mycelium. Especially since it doesn't smell like mold.

But I am no expert. I'd wait for someone else's input.

You're close mister magick :smile: it isn't spores germinating it's actually just mycelium. Mushrooms are mycelium and when they're no longer fruiting (tertiary mycelium) it goes back to colonizing (secondary mycelium) what you're seeing is just normal mycelium. Next time if you don't want that just throw it into drying before they make more secondary mycelium :P

To answer the question they're still edible op
