Ganoderma Applanatum drying at home has white mold?
    #25566670 - 10/25/18 02:34 PM (6 years, 2 months ago)

Hi all,
I collected some Ganoderma Applanatum from the woods the other day. When I got it home I chopped it into little chunks with a sharp knife. I then put it onto kitchen towel and into a bowl to dry on my windowsill. However when I checked it today there was white fluffy mold growing on the pieces at the bottom of the pile but even the top pieces had white patches on them.

Do you think I should just chuck them all out? I can always pick some more GA from the woods and be more careful preparing it next time! Any tips on how I should dry it out? I read somewhere of someone putting shrooms in a jar with a silica gel pouch at the bottom. Or maybe spreading it out as one layer on a big plate?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

It's probably mycelium most likely..but you should use a dehydrator, or failing that a fan assisted over at 70-80c or 160f

Thank you for the advice my friend. I had posted a reply to before, but since i'm a noob here I guess my reply didn't go through! My parents have an aga which has a  simmering oven which is about the right temperature. I'll keep a look out on it though just in case it's a little too warm (I can always leave it on the top warming plate).

Bear in mind you need heat and air movement to dry them..If you just put them in a oven without a fan you'll cook them rather than drying them..picking up a cheap dehydrator is the best direction if you can

Ah many thanks again for the advice. I think I'll look into getting myself a dehydrator then :smile:
