First time picker mold enquiry

Hi there, I went picking yesterday in Victoria, Australia and picked around 20 subs (I was with someone who knew what he was looking for). After picking I started the drying process using the fan method, this morning there is a blue-ish/black-ish spot on a couple of the subs. I'm fairly sure it's just bruising but just wanted to make sure it's not mold. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers

If the possible mold your talking about is on the center front shroom then your all good I reckon, can't really see what else that would be other than bruising.
Any mold I've found on mine has been white and fluffy like cotton anyway.

It's bruised from sitting on its cap as it dried, get those cracker dry ASAP. So much bruising. You don't want the actives oxidizing.

Thanks for the info mate, a few are definitely cracker dry but a couple of the stems on some still don't snap. Will probably leave them for another few hours and then store them. Was just going to store them in a air tight container with some desi packs. Plan on having them in a about a week, will that method of storage allow them to keep most of the potency even if not 100% cracker dry? Cheers

No. If you want to keep potency it has to be cracker dry.

Sweet, they are nearly there so will just dry them for that extra bit longer. Sorry for the questions but does that method of storage sound fine for a week or so?
