I once found quite a bit of Dutch rush growing wild in Maine. I was
advised that it is not ready for cutting until the color changes from
dark green to light green. I picked some, but could never figure out how
to dry it properly. It seemed to either mold or dry out until it crumbled
when touched.

Does anyone know what the proper drying or curing process would be?
