How and When do mushrooms rot?
    #23776960 - 10/27/16 02:32 PM (7 years, 3 months ago)

What causes a mushroom to rot?
Is it after its all the way matured?
Does it have to do with drying out and rehydration?

My guess is that mushrooms rot because their cells either weaken greatly or die, both of which usually have to do with age; with the caveat that no matter how old or mature the mushroom, if it dries out, the cells automatically die and hence re-wetting it causes it to rot.

I remember something that Paul Stamets said about how mycelium pumps tons of anit-rotting goods into the mushrooms(im no scientist, don't remember what he referred to it as) to insure that they live at least long enough to drop a bunch if spores, then the mycleium basically decides when a mushroom is past its prime and done its job...more nutrients.  Paul observed they drop and rot fast after this.

Rotting after being picked could be a whole different thing as well...
And of course, i was not taking notes or anything.  I may remember it wrong, and he may have it wrong. (But he is Paul Stamets............)

Yes, essentially the same handful of reasons that any other organism rots.

Attn PWN hunters: If you should come across a bluing Psilocybe matching P. pellicolusa please smell it.
If you detect a scent reminiscent of Anethole (anise) please preserve a specimen or two for study and please PM me.
