Are these dried mushrooms moldy? 🥺 🍄

Hello everyone! So I got some shrooms and I took 2gs and had a pretty bad experience. I was so nauseous I wanted to die! I was rocking back and forth on the bathroom floor and my friend was so overheated and sweating like crazy. She threw up a bunch. After 2 hours we were fine and everything was silly. But OH MAN it was a painful trip! I figured it was because we ate junk food right beforehand and I know that’s a huge no no. But I posted a photo of the shrooms in another thread and someone said the white film on the under side of one of my caps looks like mold. So I’m wondering if maybe o had a bad trip due to mold? Do you guys think this is mold? The shrooms are very dry and they don’t smell. And if so, do I just throw out the bits that are moldy or should I throw out the whole ounce of shrooms that I have? I’m very scared to get sick again, but I love mushrooms. What happens if you do eat moldy shrooms anyways?

I can't tell if that fuzzy stuff is the universal veil or mold.

Are they cracker-dry?
Can you snap that big one apart or does it bend at all?
If it bends and there’s still moisture in it, even a little bit can cause mold, just like most regular fresh foods.
When I first started, I had some issues with fully dehydrating. It never happens, but now, if I were to come across an under dried shroom and it’s not immediately after harvest, I’m tossing it.
Just like I’m tossing some sliced turkey that got left out overnight. 🤷♂️

They look fine to me but it’s always a good idea to make sure they’re absolutely dry.
Your stomach was probably just from eating the junk food and mushrooms. I make tea if I’m using dried mushrooms or I cook the mushrooms if they’re fresh because uncooked mush (even dry) is hard for your body to digest. Mush gut is the surest way to have an unpleasant trip lol. I hate that shit.

i dont think op grew them i think they bought them from the sounds of it so who knows about the actual moisture content but from what i san see i dont see no visable mold the shit i believe they are talking about is the veil remnant from being closed or just opening when harvested and then being dehydrated giving it that look. thats my opinion😃

This is the only way I’ve taken shrooms in the last several years (aside from some chocolates here and there).
Tea is the way to go for getting rid of stomach discomfort.
I’ve accepted that maybe if I steep 2g and then filter out the pieces it may not be as strong as eating 2g dried. No big deal, 3g the next time 🤷♂️

They smell like regular shmegular shrooms to me. No funky smell or anything.

So most of them are like crackers. The biggest one is a liiiitle bendy. But it’s white and stringy like wood splinters on the inside so I figured it was fine. I’ve isolated the biggest one though so it’s funny you called it out 😅. I figured I would be able to keep an eye on it to see if funky stuff grows on it or if it starts to smell.

How do you make sure that they are cooked? What do you do, bake them? I was thinking of making tea with them since I’ve heard that it will decrease the chance of nausea. Not too sure how to make the tea though, I guess put boiling water for 30 min and drink the tea? But I’m not sure if you eat the shrooms afterwards.

Yeah tea helps me with any nausea I get. Here's a simple way to make tea https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/25176006#25176006
Sure you can eat the fruits after but it really wont do anything and they'll be nasty. I just throw them away. To test them just bend them. If they snap easily like a cracker would, they're probably pretty well dehydrated. If they're bendy, they weren't dried and/or stored correctly. Improperly dehydrated shrooms can get mold and lose potency. However, like the others have said I dont see any indications of mold on the shrooms you have.
The part you seem concerned about just looks like the remnants of the veil

Yeah it’s the veil for sure.
What you’re seeing is this just dried up.

They can bend if you got some with hollow stems, even they're dried to the bone.

When I take fresh mushrooms I chop them up and cook them in a skillet with butter. They taste okay mixed in with other food and I get no stomach knots. Tea is the way to go for already dried mushrooms though.
