Yes Kombucha mushrooms do 'go bad' with age.
__________________________________________
Kombucha culture is used to produce a ferment tea drink.
What you call the Kombucha mushroom is more correctly called the SCOBY.
The tea is fermented using a symbiotic colony of bacteria and yeast (SCOBY)
After long use the yeast around the culture will begin to darken to a cappuccino color and tear easily while the surface of the SCOBY itself becomes withered then it is getting too old.
As the SCOBY ages, it produces a kombucha that is more acidic and slightly acrid.
But the time your SCOBY is too old to produce fresh kombucha, it should have made at least one or two offspring to replace itself.
Discard your old SCOBY in your compost bin.
If you do not want to make Kombucha the SCOBY place it in a glass dish and cover it with previously prepared kombucha. Cover the top with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator. If you ensure that it does not become contaminated with food debris, it will be safe for many months. The SCOBY will go to sleep in low temperatures and will revive when brought back to room temperature for the preparation of a new batch. Do not let the SCOBY dry out or it will die.
