Drying mushrooms turning green

Hi! I've noticed that my pes amazonians are turning a bit green / blue during drying. Previously when I've dried I always dry with a fan for 48 hours and then put in a drying box. Now for various reasons I had to put them in the box after just 24 hours.. And when I checked the next day they looked green / blue. Is this ok or some kind of contamination? Thanks

It doesn't really look contaminated to me, just looks like its been "out" to long but should still be fine. But for the love of god find a dehydrator man! After one use you'll wonder how you went so long without one.

That's bruising. Not a problem.
However, drying with a fan is. You are only severely reducing the potency of your mushies.
You need to be using a dehydrator.

For the love of sweet baby Jesus please buy a dehydrator. I swear I see a person ruining their fruits with a fan/desiccant chamber every day here. Stop the insanity!

Exactly. 48 hours of drying is 48 hours of oxidizing the actives to shit. You'll get all the nasty stomach cramps with no happy side effects.
Fuck that shit.
