Boiling reishi but moldy?
    #21936273 - 07/13/15 07:48 AM (8 years, 6 months ago)

my question is this.  I harvested some reishi a few years back, dried them by method of food dehydrator, sealed them in a bag, and forgot about them.  Today i was hoping to brew up a batch for the medicinal anti-microbial affects.  I noticed they have what looks like could either be dehydrated spores that have fallen out and powdered...the entire mushroom is not covered in what could be mold, the tops are still that vibrant maroonish white, and the stalks are still that off greyish blue...however the white polypore underside seems to have turned a powdery brownish color.  There is NO green, or teal coloring (to rule out trich) I was just curious if boiling it could bring out unwanted toxins in un-identified unseen mold that could have taken route. Thanks.      Correction I just found fresh stuff

did you slice the reishi before drying? that might be the problem? they might have been moldy on the inside since before you dried them.. slicing the reishi very thin then drying imediatly probably would have worked out better.

sounds like he released spores, those are rusty brown, then nothing to worry about.
