freeze dried weight vs dehydrated
    #26940271 - 09/17/20 07:51 AM (3 years, 5 months ago)

Anyone have experience with freeze drying? With freeze drying the mushroom is preserved nearly 100% in shape and size. Even the veils are perfectly retained. With dehydrating the mushroom shrinks, wrinkles, and distorts. My main question is if anyone knows or has experience with weight. They appear to be much lighter when freeze dried by comparison. Are my eyes just fooling me because of the perfect preservation? A test of 1.5g felt way more like 2.5g which made me question weight, potency preservation and all that combined. One example is that using a one gallon mylar bag: freeze dried can fit 90gish. With dehydrated 190g!. Hoping someone can set my mind at ease on this.

The only way a freeze-dried mushroom would be lighter than an identical dehydrator-dried one is if something more than water sublimated out of it. They seem larger because they are physically larger. It's a pound of feathers vs. a pound of lead kind of thing.

Did you compare homogenized doses from the same flush that had been dried using both methods? If not, then genetic variation alone could account for that.

Where if you're alone, you know, you either come through it or you die, but in any case you avoid the fuss.'"
