If the fruiting body is dried then only it can be turned into fine powder or if it is fresh fruit body then it will turn into fine pest only...! Even dried fruit body can be grind with the use of liquid nitrogen to get fine powder.... as researcher do it for DNA extraction..!

Good day sir

I also worked on mushrooms during my PhD and I used to treat them with liquid nitrogen. By treating with liquid nitrogen we can grind dried fruiting bodies into fine powder

Dear, Muhamad Afiq Rosli ,,

Yes, of course you can grind dried fruiting bodies into fine powder.

With warm greetings.

You could either freeze dry or crush in liquid nitrogen. In case you are using an oven to dry the fruit bodu remember to favor long drying time at low temperature (

Also, you can preserve them in liquid Nitrogen.

If you want to use oven for drying, you must not raise it's degree more than 40 C and use it for two days.

Dear all,

Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge.

Yes, a well dried fruiting body can be ground to a fine powder even using a pestle and mortar or for large quantities electric mixer grinder can also be used. But while drying, fruit body should not burn, there should be no charring! Thanks
