Fermented Mushrooms, WTF?

Sounds like the alcohol % was not high enough to prevent fermentation. It has to be at least 17% with plants and in my experience 20% with fungi to prevent this. A straight mushroom extraction won't work without high proof alcohol (above 90 percent), but if your goal is to simply preserve a mushroom decoction then you need at least 20%. This means if you start with a 40% alcohol and add a mushroom decoction to it, it cannot be more than 1/2 the total volume or it will go off. The higher proof alcohol you start with, the more decoction you can add to a single bottle and not have it ferment.

Bubbles = ferment. It would be safe to eat if it were a mash of wild berries, it would work as a digestive just like yogurt. But if you consume a fungus that has fermented you will be threatening your body with cyto-toxins and will surely make yourself sick, or worse.
