Did I accidentally ruin some shrooms in the fridge?
    #28476116 - 09/20/23 09:09 AM (1 year, 3 months ago)

So I did a big harvest, not all of it fit in the dehydrator, so I put some in the fridge in a bowl. I noticed many were VERY blue, and I was like: hell yeah, potent (is this truly a myth?). Example:





Thing is, I left them towards the back on the top shelf without thinking, an area that in my fridge has caused stuff to freeze.

After drying, the bluest ones look a bit sketch, by nearly turning black.





Which made me realize: crap, did these freeze and all the cell walls burst, thus the heavy bluing? Are they considered rotten? Is the potency of them gone? Or is all fine and dandy?

I did have a tiny mouthful of 4gs wet of some blue ones, thinking that maybe if they are more potent, I might get a tiny buzz, but didnt feel anything, which is to be expected.

My understanding is they get really gross like that after freezing fresh because the cell walls rupture when the water inside the cells freezes, so the cellular integrity gets destroyed so they get all slimy and mushy like that.

Just because they bruise blue, does not mean that they are more potent.  I think this has been proven several times now there isn't a direct connection between the two.

Mushroom potency can vary widely even between mushrooms in the same flush, so it's sometimes hard to tell when doing a sample like that if it is truly reflective of the entire batch.

Personally, I wouldn't eat those because they look sketchy to me how wet and slimy they were which sometimes means bacteria.  But many people on here would say to go for it after you've dried them.  I think it comes down to how badly you want to eat some mushrooms. :mushroom2:
