Are these shrooms okay to eat? they look really bad like they're rotting, especially one of the caps. ill post pictures so you can judge. i don't want to be eating mold or bacteria, and i don't want to get sick from these shrooms.

They look fine to me

Mine look more black/blue/purple..your looks more, how I thought cubes would look...They look good though.

So no risk involved eating these? (health wise). they are apparently japanese golden caps and some other strain.

It doesn't APPEAR from photos on the internet that there's much concern... that said... if you have any doubt, don't eat them.

They don't LOOK like anything is wrong with them, but you're the one in command of the plan. You know what they are, where they've been, how they've been stored etc.

Be safe



PS: You sure those are cubes?

They look like cubes someone used a food dehydrator to dry. They tend to go black when dried in this manner, can also negatively effect the potency if done to long. But they look find to me.

I'm skeptical, the gills look too dusty and brown for Cubensis, and there seems to be none of the characteristic blue bruising of the stem. I suppose a spore print is out of the question at this stage...

I don't know where they've been, only the county they came from. i was told they are japanese golden caps and the darker ones are a different strain, but honestly i really don't know. as long as they dont appear to have anything wrong with them, they just are some nasty black looking shrooms.

are you saying these aren't safe? or that these aren't cubensis?

I mean to say I can't say with much confidence what they are exactly or whether it is safe to eat them. Since you can't discuss how you obtained them unless from the wild, it's hard to say much more. There are many many strains of mushrooms that can look like a regular cubensis.
