Fast and Efficient Bulk Drying.
    #8648076 - 07/17/08 05:24 PM (15 years, 8 months ago)

So I've been trying different ways to dry large amounts. I came up with a pretty good method that should work even in high humidity climates.

There will be no pictures because its simple enough.

First you will need a plastic tub. (the kind that beer kegs go in)

Take all your mushrooms and place them on you dehydrator trays. They can be piled pretty good and dont worry about blocking the hole in the center. (maximum of 6 trays per unit.)

Place a small fan with a tilt head on the bottom of the tub and tilt the fan upwards. Place the dehydrator bottom section and all on top of the fan. This blows most of the moisture out of the mushrooms.

Once they are pretty dry they feel almost rubbery. This is the point where they begin to be difficult to get cracker dry.

Take the fan out of the bottom and now place it on top of the dehydrator with the fan in the same position facing from the top of the dehydrator down.

Pour dessicants around the dehydrator into the tub and cover with a trash bag. (make sure you pour enough dessicants in or you will have to keep dumping it out and adding more.

2 days for them to be rubbery and about 1 more day for them to be cracker dry. Once they first become cracker dry they are warm when touched. The dessicants cause this to happen.

I only fan dry.. it takes lil longer, but eliminates the need for the desiccant..

lol.. I just use a few boxes with computer fans in them.. takes ~2 days, depending on size and amount

I use my oven. I can dry a bunch in about 2 hours.

I just open the door of the oven and put a fan on it facing into the oven.

I turn the oven on the lowest setting.

I then place my mushies on a screen, on the racks in the oven.

I monitor and rotate as needed, I can pull the racks out all the way and the mushies will be getting nothing more than warm air.

I have burned some, but this is a QUICK way to dry them, cracker dry.

Only for the experienced user I would say.

Don't knock it though, I can easily harvest this morning, and have chocolates by night!

Ive always fan dried and they were dry in 2 days, but lately its been so humid, they dont get past a certian point. I forgot to mention that you can get a half gallon of dessicants at kmart for $4.

I am also talking about large amounts. A fan works fine for a few cakes, but not 4 monotubs and a jumbo tub
