Mushroom turning black after picking.
    #23768228 - 10/24/16 08:47 PM (8 years, 2 months ago)

Hey guys I harvested this a couple of days ago. I noticed this one turning black. I have them drying I a box with silica. This is only one that's done this. It it a problem?

if you will dry them in a dehydrator they won't do that as much and they will dry much nicer, and actually be quite crunchy and tasty.  If you dry them without heat like that, they will be a bit nastier to eat.

I appreciate the advice I, am going to get a dehydrator when can.

So is this not something to worry about?

is it turning black or is it bruising blue? 

I don't know anything about turning black... it could be rotting, but if it is just bruising then it is fine.

Could be spores from another mushroom falling off on it. Was anything ontop of it?

Silica to dry with is not a good idea.
You should only use gels and packets for when you want to KEEP something dry. It is not useful for drying in itself.

If you don't have a dehydrator yet, than I wouldn't even attempt to dry mushrooms...
Others may disagree -but that's just my opinion.

Set the dehydrator to the highest temperature possible and then keep them rolling until they are cracker dry (snap in half-dusty).

Heat will not hurt the potency-oxygen will though. Keep them in front of a fan for a week and they will be sad-shroom mania.

Dehydrate them and seal them tight and you'll have some potent mushrooms that last much longer.

:cheers:
