Dirty Mushrooms?

Hey, I was just wondering about dried mushrooms bought from dealers. I was thinking that I have no clue where they have been, how they have been stored, dried, where they come from, etc. Is there anything I could use to sterilize them more, and make sure i dont get any nasty bacteria?? If you've got a way could you post it?

You have just identified one of the main reasons why my friend grows her own. Anything you do with heat will destroy them. The only way I can think of to sterilize them without destroying them would be irradiation, but I doubt you have access to the equipment needed. If I were in your place, I wouldn't worry too much. I haven't read any horror stories about contaminated shrooms from a dealer... though just because I haven't read any doesn't mean they don't exist.

This is one of the major factors for home cultivation - I dont think you can die if your dealer scratched his ass right before packing your fruit - but .... Anyway - if they fruit smells good - no 'rot' smell and they are cracker dry - you'll be fine. Ahh the good old days OoD

I would shake them out and pick them clean first. I can remember eating sand and mushy unidentifiable stuff with my shrooms by mistake.

Ewwww, I'd rather take my chances with dried mush from a dealer then not do mush at all, I have never been harmed with mush from a dealer. Fresh from the ground though, that has its advantages and disadvantages. I remember one time we didn't want to waste any time after finding a huge patch. crunching down half dirt half mush aint pretty!
-------------------- Go through the orange yesterday I watched intently for a while to both sides, infront of me and behind me. I was impressed to learn there was another way to look... UP! More impressive still was the fact that there were beautiful stars in this direction Most amazing fact of all was the prospect of another direction when I was done with up. DOWN! Which, based on the feel through my toes would be a fine sandy beach!
