Different textured mushroom
    #4972386 - 11/23/05 01:07 PM (18 years, 2 months ago)

Hi everyone! I just recently had a 35g mini monster start growing in one of my trays that I had in the closet. I found it odd since it rarely got more light than a few seconds worth (when i'd open and shut the closet to get clothes). Anyways, so I figured I would pick it and dry it with the current flush.

However, the mushroom has an extremely tough texture - like celery. Its extremely stiff, unlike the rest of the mushrooms I've picked before. I've been attempting to dry it for about 2 days now and I'm not noticing much of a change from fan drying, other than the cap shriveling. I'm going to try desiccant later on today, but that takes a bit longer than fan drying. The stalk is thicker than normal, and very fibrous. I'm guessing the stiffness and the resiliency comes from turgor pressure, but I'm not sure.

Has anyone ever run into these "mushrooms of steel" before? Is everything ok?

never seen 'em that tough, but if you split the stem open and put in a small plastic container with damprid it should try pretty quickly
