Shrooms growing mycelium while drying???
    #5041372 - 12/09/05 09:24 PM (18 years, 3 months ago)

So I don't know why this isn't working, I've got a small tupperware with wire mesh over it, damp rid on the mesh, that whole thing inside of a larger tupperware, and the shrooms in there too, but there's not much water in the small tupperware, and the shrooms are damp, and they're growing mycelium all over them!!! So I guess they're not really drying. What am I doing wrong?

Don't seal them up completly all day inside that tub. I'll leave mine on a window ledge, or in front of a fan.

you should pre-dry i guess you can call it, your harvest in front of any regular fan so it gets most of the water out. Then you want to seal it inside your desiccant chamber.  If you leave the chamber open its just going to absorb the water in the air outside the chamber.  I suggest setting up fresh damp rid, and try out the fan drying first.

I leave mine in front of a fan for about 48 hours, then i transfer to the desiccant chamber for 3 days, this gives me "cracker" dry fruits :smile:

Good luck! :thumbup:

I agree with kiss and g0pher, using a fan is definitely a good move. I like to construct a tube from cardboard, fill the tube with shrooms and place a fan in one end. The fan I use is a computer fan hotwired to a cannibalised DC plug. I leave it for 24 or 36 hours, and then move the shrooms to a desiccant chamber.

Drying entirely through desiccant will require a great deal of desiccant.

I also fan dry for 24-48 hours, depending on the size of the pieces, and then I put them in my desiccant chamber for 48 hours without even opening the lid once and find they are cracker dry if I'm patient.

As motivation, I bought a huge dehydrator for $5 at a thrift store. It is awesome and I can make jerky in it too. There is no tricks to it, you put stuff in and turn it on.

I am, however, a very curious individual.
I also try to be helpful.
