Food safety of 'aged' aborts
    #26418828 - 01/06/20 07:03 AM (4 years, 23 days ago)

I'm experimenting with a new shoebox setup, and apparently I haven't quite dialed it in yet. So at harvest I ended up with quite a few mushrooms that apparently got aborted midway. Not the tiny abort pins, these are large-ish shrooms with shriveled, black caps and blue stems, and they were unusually soft to the touch, some even tearing in two as I picked them.

I separated them from the healthy shrooms, dried and powdered them, but I've been unwilling to try so far, fearing a trip coupled with food poisoning. If it were a gourmet shroom, these would be a definite tosser, but they are blue like all hell, and they made up for about 20% of the harvest, so my greediness aches at the thought of tossing them.

I wonder if anyone has experience with similar fruit bodies.

I've been there and I just dried for 12 hrs on 160 and only use them for tea... that should kill any bacteria you're worried about, IMO(E)

Eat those fuckers lol or make tea. Iv never gotten sick from eating aborts. Unless they were really slimy and smelt bad I wouldn’t worry.

Killing bacteria or molds doesnt necessarily destroy the toxins the have produced already.

That said, i personally think you should be able to judge the difference with the naked eye between caps that have just gone dark, and aborts that have actually started putrefying.

If they are unusually soft then yes they might have either been waterlogged or started rotting which may make them also mushy gooey smelly or all of the above.. you get the point i hope.

You cant really ask for exact food safety if you see things like that and wonder how much decay is too much to eat. That really varies widely. Don't eat em if you have such doubts.. just dont panic either at the sight of a little darkening of caps or blueing if tissue alone.

Oh hehe I see SFS was more concise saying something to that effect.
