Semi dried Amanita Muscaria - mistakes were made
Posted: Tue May 02, 2023 9:38 am
Hi,
I'm a newbie to AM and have botched my first attempt at drying/ prepping fresh Amanitas.
After learning about mixed results of oven drying
and convincing myself I didn't have any better option. I regrettably attempted to oven dry a batch of muscarias.
Which of course didn't turn out well.
The initial plan was to dry out and store them until I was ready to make a tea.
After putting them in the oven for almost 12hrs and only getting semi-dried they started to turn black so I decided to take them out and simmer them all at once as they were, because I didn't want them to go bad.
I simmered 235 grams of semi-dried mushrooms in 2.5 litres of water for ~30mins then strained and mixed in the juices collected from the oven.
I poured into ice cube trays and put in the freezer for storage.
Now the big question.
Would this be ok to consume?
Thanks.
