How long half-dried mushrooms
    #23544074 - 08/15/16 01:18 PM (7 years, 5 months ago)

I fan dried some mushrooms a few days ago, but only had enough time to get them to the point where they looked dry, but were more mushy than that cracker dry that I wanted. Then I put them in a plastic bag in an empty toothpaste bottle for transport and to conceal them. It's been maybe 4 days, and they've been at room temperature (~60°F) most of the time. Should they still be fine and safe to eat after an additional 7 days if stored in this manner? Would putting them in the freezer help more? Unfortunately I'm unable to dry them further in my current situation :P

Turn on your oven on low, and put them on a cookie sheet for 2 hours with the door cracked.. ik you can fit it in your routine.

I doubt they'll last a week like that.

Main issue is that I'm visiting my parents for the week (hence concealing them), and heading straight to a camping trip from there, where I plan to use them.

I might be able to have them in the open in my old bedroom with a ceiling fan on, if you think that might work well enough?

Well I'd still be looking for a way to dry them out. I always did the oven. And did it once when they went out to eat lol. Even the fridge would be better than room temp in a bag. Freezing can also work too. But it isn't something I have exp doing. Either way tho, you gotta report on the potency of 10+ day old damp shrooms. Just curious if you'll see a noticeable potency drop.

Will do! It was about 5g on the weigh in, so I'm guessing it'd probably 4-4.5 if dried completely.

So my mother hasn't, and probably won't be leaving the house and time soon (feeling sick), so I dried with the ceiling fan overnight. They are "cracker dry" but they are also very hard. Like, it's difficult to bite into them. Also very blue. Also because I left th em in the toothpaste bottle, they have what I consider to be a really funny mint-shroom smell. I ate a small chunk of what looked like the most discolored shrooms to see if it makes me sick. Then I'm putting it in the freezer for a few days.

They'll be fine. I wouldn't be freezing. I froze fresh mushrooms once and they went super mushy when thawed. Plus freezer burnt and went hella blue.
