Title: Fresh mushrooms?
Post by: hallucinating horse on August 11, 2013, 09:10 pm
Is their any demand for fresh un-dried mushrooms here on the road? The mushrooms would be picked literately right before packaging and being put into transit. I figure the best way to go about it would be express, vacuum sealed, with a silica packet.

Price per gram would obviously be much much cheaper. I believe 3.5g of dried shrooms would be equal to 35g of un-dried shrooms.

Currently the only stain I have fruiting is Albino Penis Envy.

Just throwing it out there for a few who might be interested.

It sounds interesting, but being a moist food item (sorta) in a warm environment is inviting potential for food poisoning.  I'm not sure if there's a way you could package them to keep them food-safe without the use of a cooler and some ice packs, which might be a little more difficult to keep stealthy.  I remember leaving some fresh mushrooms at room temperature for just one day and by the end of the day, they smelled terrible, were a little smelly, and even when dried seemed a little off.  They worked, but I'm not sure how much longer they'd have been safe.

I'm sorry, but I have picked mushrooms, had them sit on a counter top overnight without any kind of change expect for slight bruising, then taken tissue samples from the cap for cloning without any signs of bacteria. Sounds like you had a patch of bacteria if your mushrooms deteriorated that quickly.

Shipping takes more than a day and sitting in a hot mailbox is worse than on a counter-top.

Express...

I'm going to simulate the shipping process on a fresh mushroom sample and test to agar. Will report back if this is possible.
Edit: I don't think the risk is worth the reward.
