Color doesn't mean they're rotten, but smell and not being cracker dry does. Can you bend them, are they soft?

as Long as he dried them quickly, them being dark are just the spores. I had cubes once that the stems were almost all black (actually dark purple) -can't really tell the difference. But they should be good as long as they do not smell sour and they were dried in a good manner!
And if he still doesn't want to take them...Send them to me!

I have a question of my own... If some shrooms have been sitting in drying bag/chamber for about a week and are still moist but have no smell comign off them are they still safe or...does the fact that they were wet for at least a week mean that they are pretty much completely rotten and I shouldnt press my luck?

c'est taboo?
I'm pretty sure they're not rotten...i just sniffed them and touched them compulsively(much in the same way i masturbate) and they still smell like shrooms and theres no slimy feel to it.
I eman if I had shroosm thats what i would have just have done to them. er..damn it hard to not self-incriminate.

You shouldn't dry mushrooms in anything but open air or a dehydrator. Just lay them out on paper towels or cardboard in the open, with a fan blowing on them. They'll be dry in 24 to 36 hours, then put on desiccant to get the last of the moisture out. Any mushroom that has been picked a week ago and is still wet is a case of food poisoning waiting to happen. RR
