Black cotton like stuff in dry mushrooms
    #28379349 - 06/29/23 06:15 PM (1 year, 6 months ago)

I dried my mushrooms (Albino Penis Envy) in a dehydrator for about 6-7 hours at 158°F. I decided to open one up and noticed a black cotton like thread inside them. Is this mold or have they not dried enough?

I would recommend 24 hours at 158F, unless you have only a few fruits perhaps. Even then, much longer than 6 - 7 hours.
For any decent sized harvest, that's nowhere near long enough and they can get bendy and moldy after a short time. Also,
make sure they're stored in airtight containers, in the dark, preferably with a couple of desiccant baggies thrown in for good measure.

Thanks for the advice, unfortunately I was out of town and I wasn’t able to completely dry them. I left them in a air tight container with silica packets in and now they are completely dry. Would they be safe to eat?
