How to know if mushrooms are still good?
    #23456652 - 07/19/16 04:04 PM (7 years, 6 months ago)

I started drying my mushrooms about 3 weeks ago only by fan, I had some the first two weekends and they were great, this past weekend I had some a felt kind of sick and didn't get much of an effect from them. I dried them only under a fan for a week straight on high. They do not have any mold or look like they have gone bad, but could they have gone bad anyway? Would it be too late to get some desiccant to dry them further by now? They are very dry, but they don't crack if that is what "cracker dry" means...?

Cracker dry means you can powder them by crumbling them in between your fingers

no, but ideally the first thing you do is cracker dry them and keep them that way.

they lose potency if stored improperly, IE not cracker dry.

the only good ways to do it are in a food dehydrator set to the max temp 160-170F usually

less ideal is to fan dry for a couple days then use desiccant which is inferior in my opinion it is only for keeping cracker dry dry not getting them to cracker dry.

if you get them cracker dry and store in an airtight container you don't even need the desiccant at all

Ok, so 3 weeks old isn't toxic or anything? I will use the epsom salt method as desiccant since I have some here already and dont have a food dehydrator.
