Different smells for different drying styles?
    #22007786 - 07/28/15 01:45 AM (8 years, 6 months ago)

I just recently dried a couple oz. of Ecuador, and the way I did it was I air dried them on racks, in front of a fan for about 24 hours, then put them in a big sealed Tupperware with a mini kitchen strainer full of damprid, sitting on top of a little plate to catch any water drip.  They dried up nicely in a few days but I noticed that the mushroom smell was slightly funky until I fanned the air out of the Tupperware, and now that they're fully dry, they have a slight funk mushroom smell instead of that classic earthy mushroom smell.  The mushrooms grew great on pure straw and there were no contaminates.  I was wondering if not having some holes drilled in the Tupperware for airflow, or maybe using pure straw contributes to the funk smell.

Anyone have experience with this?

Thanks

They always smell like that to me kinda a sour mushroom smell . The earthyness may just be the dirt.
