HELP! Are these goners?

Hi there - Had some shrooms in a dry kit full of desiccants and after a few days, noticed they were turning weird colors and some powder started forming. Any thoughts if these are goners or still okay?




Also, after one dunk, I noticed that the stems and caps have been incredibly small. Is that normal?

Some Of Them Are Okay, But The Ones With The Light Greenish/Grayish Spots I Would Not Eat.
I Don't Know What A "Dry Kit" Is But You Need To Invest In A Dehydrator My Friend.
Their Size Is Probably Just Genetics.

Ard to tell for me. First pic looks kinda gross. Hard to tell if its grey mold or what. Other pics kinda just looks like myc to me. Could be what feels "powder" to you.
Were the stems full of myc when you harvested?
Then the white myc can bruise blue.
Did they have any mold when you harvested them...?

Looks like they are molding, not good. Dont use desiccant packets to dry shrooms! Its not effective. U need a heat source like a dehydrator or a drying lamp.

Thank you for the tips. Will invest in a dehydrator now to get the job done properly! Quote:

One group of the mushrooms when I removed from the drying tray and put on a piece of paper towel, a small pile of dust came up. The stems were not full of myc when harvested. All were fresh and pretty good looking. If moldy, do you think I should toss all since they were all in the same tray?

Yup, its happened to me while printing caps. They can mold over if the shrooms are wet for a period of time and the enviroment has mold spores.

Just boil some water and make tea.
You will probably be fine. Although

I Just Bring 4 Cups To A Boil For A Couple Minutes, Then Reduce Back Down To A Simmer, Usually 2 Cups Evaporate Leaving Me About 2 Cups.
Add My Tea Bags, Stir Them Around For A Lil Bit, Then I Crush Up Some Dried Shrooms & Put Them In An Empty Tea Bag, I Put The Bag In A Big Cup & Pour The Water Over It & Then Let It Sit For About 30 Mins Before Drinking.
