keep the lid on. If you keep it off the damp rid will try and suck out the moisture from all the air wherever you have it placed.

Open it, open the bag the desiccant is in, dump in the tray thats in the tub, then place the tub in sealed drying chamber. place in the mushies, and give it a couple days.

I've never used the damp-rid container as a drying chamber before, it could work but its small. I would make one of decent size and use the damp-rid on a screen

Just pour some damp rid on the bottom. Use a rack or make something where they arent touching the damprid directly. Then close the container and leave it for a couple of hours. I usually leave mine over night. Dont just leave the whole damprid in there. You really dont even need that much

Dont NEED it but it doesn't hurt, This is exactly how I used to dry mine before the dehydrator. You just put the lid back on when your done, and use it again and again. No cleanup this way.

Why would you want to mix up the used and unused damrid in the same container. Instead of just throwing away the used after your done.

The used just liquefies and drips from the supplied tray to the bottom of the container.

Then as the liquid goes down. The rest of the damprid is soaking that up. Your just using up more damprid.

you can bake damp rid on a cookie sheet to reuse it. then you recrumble it. fyi. 

the set up you have works, and yeah take the lid off the damprid container in there.  remember to not let the mushies touch the damp rid.  Its nasty. lol

to save money in the long run, buy a $40 dehydrator on ebay or at wal-mart instead of buying desiccant all the time. I started with damprid then used a fan with mushies on a paper towel, then eventually got a dehydrator, the best for large amounts of mushies.

I only use damprid, now, for storing my mushies for a long period of time.

You evidently have never used this stuff. If that was the case, that used damprid is absorbed by the unused, then you wouldnt be able to store it after opening, which is not the case. I only used 2 tubs in a 2 year span.

You use a regular food dehydrator? Nothing else in there with it? No Silica Gel or Damp rid? Do you section the mushrooms into smaller pieces to make drying quicker?

New to all this, so please bear with me.

to answer your question, just put the whole fruitbodies in the regular food dehydrator, run it until they're "cracker dry", that is, they 'snap' when you break them. the dehydration times will vary anywhere from 2-4 hours, to 8-12 hours...to 6 years, depending on the size of the fruitbodies :smirk:

Thats how I did it too.

I dumped the damprid in a plastic tub. I then layered papertowls over the damprid to soak up the water. I then had chicken wire in the tub that I layed mu mushrooms on after be faned dried for a day.
