Found 3 shrooms 11/25 (Field actives) * 1
    #26345205 - 11/25/19 05:52 PM (4 years, 2 months ago)

3 psilocybe cubensis found and harvested
Very noticeable blue bruising
Purple spores

blue bruising under cuts on cap & dark blue on stipe

I’m guessing about 12 grams

Is the bluing a sign of activity in potency?

They are kind of pale and flattened out but I bet I can get a decent tea out of them

Wow, they're in really poor shape now. Next time just dry them, washing mushrooms is never a good idea. I hope you have a good drying method (i.e. food dehydrator) otherwise they will rot before you have a chance to dry them.

A cool air fan would dry them about %50 in a few hours to the point they are slightly drier than natural.  But I plan on using them sooner. They are just really water saturated

Ok, im confused. In your OP, the photos show dried wild cubes growing from the ground but your third and forth photos shows them all wet. Did they get rained on between those times?

I just rinsed them off in rain water and tap water.  I’ve haven’t noticed much of a difference if I wash shrooms before.  It does look like they were rained on.  Normally I would start to dry them right away
The rinse caused more bruising and they are just slimey until they dry or eat them.  I’m leaning towards making tea with them like this after I chop them with scissors

Ok. Huh.

Personally i would use a paper towel to clean them, or even a damp towel. But you do you :awesome:

Yeah that does sound good.  I was gentle with just placing them in a tub of water and then taking them out without stirring them around.  Put them on paper towels.  I think it just released some spores.  They actually wouldn’t be bad to eat if I dried them out But I just have them for drinking

Shrooms are fragile to contact with water. Which is why rain can burn holes into the mushroom itself.

Looks like water damage and not a spore release. A learning lesson in the fragile nature of Shrooms.

Psilocybin is water soluble as greenween alluded to, so you are hurting your potency by rinsing them. By how much you are hurting the potency, I do not know, but you are hurting it

Yeah placing the mushrooms in the water is dangerous for the shrooms maybe there is fractional damage risking more damage but it usual takes a process or normal damage decomposition which can be easily shortened.  Imo I can still get something out of these at this point which might not be if I have a tolerance to consume these.  May be damaged physical the mushroom but may be there is insignificant amounts to psilocybin and psilocin itself.  I’m interested in this about how and at what point all of the potency is transferred into water.  Does that also breakdown psilocybin?

I alluded myself to think of the process of solution is beginning slowly then maybe more easily and completely with faster water solution

I don't think potency is the main issue here, it is more that the added water will speed up the decomposing
and allow for a faster contamination of bacteria. If you need to clean your mushrooms, use a soft brush, tissue
paper or whatever good dry wiping material you've got handy. Never use water or any other liquids for that
matter.

He could steep them crushed in liquor over night and thus get rid of bacteria, then filter and drink. Only actives, no nasties.
I'm swearing to this method anytime I choose to trip nowadays, always super smooth come up and no stomach issues.

I highly recommend drying out your mushrooms that look like that to keep from getting food poisoning. If they are bad, they will turn to powder when you handle them after thoroughly drying them,  you will know it when you see it.

I had some that looked similar before and I still had these.  From before I had some maintain shape,  I ended up with dry shrooms having dark staining around the edge as a dark ring on the cap and just some dark blue stipes.  I really don’t think these are decomposing.  I’m just sure they won’t last more than a day or two without being dried but I can say I wouldn’t get sick if I ate these now.  Give them a day and yeah they would.  They are just so bloated.  I just experience something like this before, but I dunno might avoid this in the future. 
But yeah I still plan to eat these:

That makes sense especially if using a dehydrator straight off.  Does it matter which method of drying?  I think I could dry these with a fan and airtight box.  With some prolonged fanning. Next time I might take your advice though and just use a food dehydrator because I can see that not working well with them in this condition.  But I’m not saving these.  I’ve had shrooms rot naturally and I have fan dried them after washing them with a fan (not heavy washing but a quick dip in the water). I kept some for a few weeks and didn’t have any trouble with them some looked really nice and the smell was neutral and didn’t taste bad to tasting good for some.

All right I’m going to see about that using a towel next time because the water seems to do damage at least physically.  I have to see how these go

I know I started doing this recently with dipping them in water I noticed a lot of spores in the water afterwards. It just fascinated me to put them in water.  It feels like an experiment.  So I’m just still kind of intrigued by this.  Also dipping them in water makes it harder to keep them clean afterwards because they get all sticky.

Good information though thanks because I hadn’t really heard much about this before.  I say it’s like a science experiment not sure if my purpose was only washing them. 

Also it seems like the water makes the bruising visible underneath deeper below the surface

This is not at all for long term storage purposes and that kind of slipped my mind when I was doing this.  But because I didn’t plan to store them long term, and take care of them on the short term.

Unwashed without drying my shrooms usually last about 3 days.  Figured this out before experience with drying after only using them undried and lost some when stock got high.
