Foraging seasons and spoiling
    #29621705 -

Went foraging today and I found a lot of soggy shrooms and some that look burned around the edges

Due to sun or frost. I know its getting late in the season there were scattered shrooms but not a good flush. I have attached some photos I know most are sub's if not all. Could I please ask for ID πŸ˜€

Re storing i am storing cracker dry in airtight jars. I had thought about powdering but have heard this can damage potency. What are your thought?

Powdering them will increase surface area, which makes alkaloids break down sooner.  Extremely dry in a jar with silica gel is best.

OK. I'll keep them as they are do these look OK?

Also the ones that look like they are about to die off are they safe to consume?

They should be ok, too black and probably throw them, but yours look acceptable.

plus if you keep them whole you can tell if moisture got in the jar by their texture : softer then before ,don't crack or snap anymore.
and you can put them back in a dehydrator for a bit, unlike powder.
and air flows more easily around them for silica gel to absorb any moisture that made its way into the jar/bag.
