I believe that will be primarily silver oxide, and maybe some silver hydroxide if the ionic content got too high. > > > The other electrode accumulates a black deposit with a black spot > underneath. [Presumably silver oxides] I believe that to be finely divided silver metal. If you can rub it and it turns to silver, that should indicate it is silver metal. > > > In between the spots will be metallic silver plateout like a mirror if you > let it go for a long time.

I am not sure silver hydroxide can even be in a solid form, I think it is too unstable to dry without forming silver oxide. But I still can't find any good references.
