Cracker dry mushrooms smell sour
    #27078091 - 12/08/20 01:52 AM (4 years, 1 month ago)

The cracker dry mushrooms I stored in mason jars smell sour. I know they were cracker dry before storing them because they would snap like crackers. They look fine but there's some white fuzz on the inside of some of the stems. Are they safe? After harvesting they went right into the dehydrator so I don't understand how they could have contaminated (sorry the picture quality is bad, but it's just a little white fuzz on the inside of the stem)

Did you happen to put a desiccant in with them? I wouldn’t know for certain as I store mine in the freezer with those little silica packets in the bag with them... but I would guess that the moisture in the air inside the jars may be enough to get at and breed some kind of bacterial growth on the fruit without desiccant.

They could be bendy dry and far from cracker dry and wouldn't go bad. They sell wild mushrooms dried no where near cracker dry at every organic/healthy sort of grocery store. The reason we go to cracker dry is for dosage accuracy and potency staying good in storage

Okay is there any reason it smells sour? These mushrooms smell a lot more sour than some other ones I have

Probably sour smell is bacteria but use your judgment. Mushrooms are food and if the food is too rotten to eat perhaps you should avoid it.

Do you have a guess on how this could have happened? I don't understand how this is possible with cracker dry cubes :frown:

Maybe you shouldn't trust your own sense of smell then

Yeah I don't have the best sniffer on me, but I gave some to my friend and he says they smell really sour too.

Why not eat em and find out? Got any decent pictures? If they were fine at harvest and now smell "funny" after drying perhaps you had misconceived notions?

The camera on this device is horrible, but they look like perfectly fine cubes and some of them have a little white fuzz on the inside, but I think that might be normal, another flush from the same sub has no white fuzz but smells the same. Also I just sniffed my tub and it smells just like the dried mushrooms do...kinda sour. I know bacteria should generally be avoided but my friends have ate them without medical complications or becoming sick, so are they safe?

Does tea make it safer? Or is that just to mask the taste/smell
