So I had like about and 10 ounces of wet mushies drying with a fan and I put them in a ghetto rigged desiccant chamber made of a foil pan with paper towel over it inside a tupperware and I put them all in at once (mistake 1) and when I woke up the paper towel had sunk so it was wet and touching the desiccant. Now almost all the mushies are stained blue. How bad is this. Id put a pic in but really they like normal except stained blue. Do u think they lost a lot of potency. Fuck I hope not

You need to be worried the other way around- did they soak up calcium chloride?

from wikipedia:
Quote:
Uses in food As an ingredient, it is listed as a permitted food additive in the European Union for use as a sequestrant and firming agent with the E number E509, and considered as generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.[9] The average intake of calcium chloride as food additives has been estimated to be 160–345 mg/day for individuals.[10] Ingestion of concentrated or pure calcium chloride products may cause gastrointestinal irritation or ulceration.[11] The anhydrous form has been approved by the FDA as a packaging aid to ensure dryness (CPG 7117.02).[12]
Calcium chloride is commonly used as an electrolyte and has an extremely salty taste, as found in sports drinks and other beverages such as Smartwater and Nestle bottled water. It can also be used as a preservative to maintain firmness in canned vegetables or in higher concentrations in pickles to give a salty taste while not increasing the food's sodium content. It is even found in snack foods, including Cadbury Caramilk chocolate bars to retard freezing of the caramel in cold conditions. In the manufacturing of tofu, calcium chloride is added to harden the soy bean curds (the remaining material when the soy bean milk is separated from the rest of the mixture) into the final firm tofu.
so, proceed with caution, but your probably ok.
