Not poisoning myself right?
    #10099455 - 04/03/09 09:54 AM (15 years, 9 months ago)

Quick question...

So the weather is warming up, the humidity is climbing and for the first time I am having trouble drying my mushrooms.  As I can no longer just leave them out overnight I have decided to put them on a drip tray like this and that is literally balanced on top of an open tub of Damp-rid, inside a closed plastic tub.  Assuming I can get lots of the damp-rid for cheap, should this be effective for drying, and is this safe?

Thanks

Sure. Its fine. I used to just put them in a big rubbermade with the damprid. No rack or anything. As long as its in a sealed container, the damprid will do its job.

I made the best decision of my life when i decided to get drierite.  do a quick google search on it and you will be glad you did.  Fan dry them for a day and throw them in a bucket with drierite in it.  Be sure to lay something on top of the drierite like a screen to keep the shrooms off of it.

Invest in a dehydrator, they aren't that expensive and you can dry a lot quicker.

yup dehydrator is the way to go, cheap on ebay, but wally world(wal-mart) has a great one(ronco) for $40.  Ive used damprid or just open air with fans and dehydrators win out everytime.

Dehydrators rock.. but dry rid/ damp rid.. is AMAZING..

heres how I did mine..

Put your mushies in front of a fan for up to a week (if its raining you get NO drying action.. if its dry outside perhaps 4 days)

Then put as many as you can loosely fit into a mason jar..

Then you need my awesome ghetto dry rid pouch..

Take tin foil, and wrap it over a 2-3 inch pile of dry rid, then poke small holes in it.. put in the BOTTTOM MUST BE BOTTOM of the jar..

leave it alone for a day or two, then take out your dried goods.. make sure not to re use the dry rid to much or you will get TONS of liquid coming out of the dry rid pouch!.. nasty

If you are worried about the toxicity of damprid, use nontoxic epsom salts instead.  Epsom salts are magnesium sulphate and they work great as a desiccant.  Once it has absorbed all the water it can you just put it in the oven and its good as new.
