Drying Questions
    #10991774 - 09/03/09 10:30 AM (15 years, 4 months ago)

Is it fine to dry mushrooms for 24 hours on a fan facing up only? I don't have a vehicle to drive and buy a dehydrator or anything.

Also will grinding up the mushrooms, when dry, into a powder kill the potency of the shrooms?

Fan dry until they are cracker dry, 24 hours or as needed. (Dehydrator or desiccant, nice to have.)
If you grind them, use the powder quickly or store it extremely well. It's more at risk of losing potency than whole fruits.

1. Depends. I live in a dry climate so on occasion I have fan dried only and within 24 hours have had cracker dry mushrooms. More often though I try to dry for roughly 48 hours just to be sure.

2. No. Well, as long as you consume them fairly quickly that is. I've heard that trying to store powder mushrooms can be pretty damn tricky.

From what I've read (I don't have personal experience yet), many people fan dry for 24 hours, they will be fine. They will likely not become "cracker dry" by fan only, you'll need a desiccant for that (like those packets that come in vitamin jars and the like).

Mushrooms lose potency via oxidation AKA exposure to air, so if you do powder the mushrooms, you should probably store them in airtight containers, either in gel caps or in a zip-top bag with air removed and in a jar.

If they are thick you could slice the stem open and that will help dry the bigger ones out faster.
