are these mushrooms safe to eat

Hello, I just picked up some mushrooms from a friend who grew them and I noticed that some of them aren't "cracker-dry" as I've heard they should be. The cap is easily bent without breakage and in some places the stem isn't too crisp either. Is there any risk in eating mushrooms that have been stored with some moisture left. I think these harvested about month ago, if that makes a difference. Thanks a lot for your help! In Peace, Matt

They should be okay...check for visible un-shroomy growths, if you get my drift. The safest way for consumption would be making a tea, probably, if you are kinda nervous. Lemon Juice as well. Check out the thread.
I've had mushrooms that were perfectly fine, albeit a little chewy/spongy, and NOT cracker dry.
A pic would also be helpful, probably if you can give one.
Anyway, if you are completly unsure, toss them, kinda unsure, make a tea---or you could always eat them and see what happens.:-)
Peace and Good Luck!

Thanks to both of you, I appreciate the feedback. I think I'll take the tea path. In Peace, Matt

Yes, like implee said, they will be heavier because of the moisture content, so you'll have to increase the dosage vs cracker dry. How much is anybody's guess.
