drying question

hi , if someone left their shrooms in a dehydrator for six hours, and then jarred them sealed for 8 hours with a few grains of rice, they thought they were cracker dry when putting them away, now they are moist, are they still safe, it's only been 8 hours stored sealed, dehydrator is back on now.
are they still ok to eat?

Yes, If you plan on storing them make sure they are cracker dry before the long store

you should still be good dude. If your shrooms are kinda thick you can try slicing the stem from top to bottom with a very sharp razor blade about half ways through...
This keeps the shroom intact while helping it to dry inside and out...
this helped me get the big ones to dry around the same time as the smaller ones.
If your not into taking a blade to your shrooms try just leaving them in the dehydrator for an extended period of time.. they WONT lose potency.

I've cut larger mushrooms in half before as well. It really speeds up the drying process for the big ones. Smaller ones dry out quick. It almost kind of sucks to have to cut them in half when they look so pretty.. 
Test to see if they're cracker dry instead of going by a time limit. For instance, if you have a pile of mushrooms drying out, when you think they're completely dry, take a couple of the bigger ones and see if they snap in half. If they snap without bending then they're completely dry.
I usually leave mine in the drying chamber a little while longer after I'm pretty sure they're dry, just to make sure. By little while I mean like 2-3 hours or so.
I need a dehydrator!!

I had some that did something similar, but they started to rot I think before I had noticed (started to have an off putting odor to them and started turning a light shade of black), so I decided to trash them since I had plenty to spare.
Well, before I did so, my friend snatched them up and dropped them off at a nearby gas station pump hoping that someone would spot them and try them (instead of wasting them).
They were probably just thrown away but I still wonder to this day if anyone tried them and tripped off them. It was like 6 grams of cubes.
