    I hadn’t dried shrooms before, so it was a good trial run at that too, I think I’ll slice them all thin next time before I start drying them, the sliced ones were cracker dry a lot quicker than the whole ones.

    Thanks for the guidance man, much appreciated 🙌

    Yeah you’re right, the whole reason for making this post was to get some clarity, was kinda hoping for a “they’re grand, no need to worry” response, wishful thinking.

    Anyway trial and error, I know what to do / not do do next time, hopefully I’m more successful second time round 🤞

    I think I harvested this a little early too, I should have waited for them to open up around the bottom a bit, is that right?

    Thanks for the advice, It’s not clear in the image, but there was some mold on the bottom of the large shroom, if you look closely at it in the bottom left you can see what looks like holes, it was slightly green there.

    I’ve thrown the cake, and I’ve ordered another kit, it will be another few weeks before I’m ready to harvest again though what’s the risk with the mold on the shroom?

    The weight of the big shrooms dried is about 6g, it was sliced and I’ve broken it testing it’s dryness, so not sure exactly which bits are the big one anymore.
