Woke up this morning and saw my one fruit was fully open, and a little past the optimum picking point, oh well. The thing is, the cap was really wet compared to the rest of the other fruits that were in the SGFC as well. Did I mist too much? I was thinking that it might be because it was so close to the top of the chamber that it built up extra moisture that was near the top and had poor air flow. I picked it anyway and its drying now. Will it still be ok? I guess you could say it looked slimy it also might have had a different smell that the others, but that could have been just in my head. Also check out the Siamese twin fruits thought that was kind of cool, started out as one big one and split further and further every day.

thats a killer mushroom. pic 3 is awesome. i really dig it. good job.
the cap is slimy.. could be from over misting. it seems i always get 1 or 2 slimy cap shrooms per tub.
just a tip.. a surface like a dryer/washer is a terrible place to weigh things. the lid isnt level. the unit itself sure as shit isnt either. use the floor before an appliance.

Yeah that is only the first time I have used that scale on the dryer, I usually use a sturdy table. So your saying its good to go as long as I dry it good?

Dude, try it fresh with some ranch dressing. They say fresh fruit will be more potent than after dehydrating but I never noticed a difference.
I brought a bag of fresh to my buddy's place and we sat around the fire while he gagged down a 42 gram to himself. Making my own was the only opportunity I ever had to try them fresh. Just remember they're 90% water, so 42 grams wet = 4.2 grams dry.
Seriously, unless you plan to tuck it away for the next camping trip or something, try it... looks like you'll have plenty to experiment with.
My first fruit was a mutant and was 3.5 dry. I was so excited as any I ever bought were crushed into chunks so 1/8th of an ounce in 1 fruit was crazy. Cool you got that big guy there, have fun.

I do have a dehydrator that I use to dry my fruits. But my question was is that one good still as it looked all slimy and wet? was it rotting?

you would know if it's rotting. mushrooms themselves "rot" substrates.
Quote:
White-rot fungi are grown all over the world as a source of food - for example the Shiitake mushroom, which in 2003 comprised approximately 25% of total mushroom production
if in doubt dry it out.

Sorry if I sounded rude, I wasn't trying to. I just wanted to inform that I do have a dehydrator but wanted to know if this fruit was good or rotting. I don't want to get sick from bad fruits.

Like i said. if in doubt dry it out.
That will kill anything harmful. Like why we cook chicken. Salmonella is no harm cooked.

ive eaten half grown shrooms from a triched out tub. fresh kinda gave me a sour stomach. dried didnt notice a thing. you'll be fine.
you have probably eaten way more active mold on old bread or cheese but you couldnt see it.
they are good. my rule of thumb is the mushroom is a food i plan to ingest. use common sense.
