Soft and dark looking mushrooms after freezing
    #27791108 - 05/24/22 08:03 PM (2 years, 7 months ago)

A friend wanted us to take his mushrooms and when i saw the bag, I said no...
They are soft and look bad to me.

Any comments??

That's why it's VERY important to dry them properly and also the sandwich bag has to go. To me they look nasty AF.

Mostly just to be weary of why someone is just giving away shrooms.  lol.  If they were picked recently enough, I'm sure their fine but they don't look very good.  They don't seem moldy from picture, but in real life, you'll know better - and if they will smell weird. 

I think there's a million other questions that come to mind on the situation - but as an example: If your friend is recently trying their hand in growing mushrooms and wants you to try them?  Maybe they aren't on this site here and know how to dry their mushrooms, OR figured, they are dry enough to eat?  I'd find out more and give them the benefit of the doubt.  lol, but those look old as shit too! ... So how well do you know your friend's situation with these? If there is a slight chance they could be stale, rotten, OR maybe your friend picked them from outside???  - Nope, not worth it.

Yeah I'd pass on those.  The colors seem off to me.

They just look aged and the freezer reintroduced moisture from the zip lock.
They probably would have lost some potency but they'll be okay to consume.

I've dried mushroom in the fridge alone before and they end up dark and hard af but they still have potency.

My friend grew them from the same kit I grow them.  I gave specific instruction but he didn't dry them enough.  Also I never told him to put them in the fridge but he heard from others that he could....
They didn't smell too bad but my reaction looking at them was a big no.
It's not worth it.  I have my own which are very potent and he wanted me to try his.
