Silica Gel and Shrooms
    #5456216 - 03/29/06 06:12 PM (17 years, 11 months ago)

Still waiting on my food dehydrator to arrive and trying to make ends meet on my first small harvest. I picked about 43.3 g's wet from 3 cakes and had them drying in front of a 4" personal fan for 2 days (once again temporary). They look and feel some what cracker dry, weighing in at 6.3 g's dry. I found a silica gel pack from an old shoe box and put that in a mason jar. The dry shrooms were then put in a zip lock bag, left unzipped, and put in the jar so the shroomies don't touch the packet.
First, do you think they're fully dry? And second, is the silica gel packet idea going to work (the packet is about 6 months old). Thanks

If the stems snap like a twig when you bend them, then they are good to go.

You might try putting that silica gel packet in the oven on it's lowest setting for an hour or so to make sure it's completely dry before use.
