Haggardly drying okay?
    #9946980 - 03/10/09 04:58 PM (15 years, 22 days ago)

I got about 60 grams of fresh shrooms to split with a friend this saturday, but drying has proved to be sort of a problem.  Neither of us have any place to fan dry them or oven dry them, so I just made a drying chamber (container with wire mesh and damprid) to put them in until saturday so they at least dry out a litte.  Do you think theyll be fine until then just left in there?

I did this with some killer blue meanies one time and by the time we took them, the psilocybin had been oxidized considerably. Big potency loss. Honestly, if you're going to keep them around for more than a day or two, you really ought to dry them properly.

That's been my experience.

Is there any way around that, maybe keeping them in an airtight bag?

Also if it matters they're cubensis.

Unless its really humid in your house leave them in front of a fan for a day or two and then stick them in a container with damprid.

never leave mushrooms in an airtight container unless they are dry or they will rot.

60 grams is'nt much.  Just use a hair blow dryer(c'mon, somebody you know has to have one of them).  They'll seem dry and then wetten up again after a few minutes.  Just keep on doing that (like 5 minutes of blow drying every half hour.  Blow dry each individual mushroom at a time instead of waving the dryer over the whole batch at once). 

I'm not sure about cubensis, but a drying chamber + desiccant without flowing air does not work for amanitas.  Lost a bunch of guessowii that way once :frown:.

I thought that desiccant chamber was the advised method to use after a dehydrator. So it doesn't work very well for you guys?
