Shrooms have been air drying for a bit and pretty sure they’re not supposed to be this blackish color. Anyone know?

Trippy answered: Looks like spores to me. Notice how there’s areas on the paper towel with a spore print. The shroomies can drop spores even after harvest. Shroomok answered: Agree with Trippy. So many spores!!! Caps are dark with spores and you have cool spore prints on paper 😄 But stems are white, so everything fine
