Drying - Should I use a heating bad on low?
    #12034504 - 02/15/10 02:52 PM (14 years, 10 months ago)

does hae subtle heat applied indirectly to the mushrooms have an adverse effect.

I have a two shelve setup.

Bottom Shelf:
One layer of aluminum
heating bad
two layers of aluminum
shrooms
(shrooms in glass jar with holes poked)

Top shelf: shrooms on aluminium foil.

Now will this work or shoul i go upstairs and steal my roommates fan?

I'd go take the fan. I use a food dehydrator personally and have no problem with heat but I'd be worried your method isn't going to dry them quick enough, you wouldn't want them oxidizing sitting in that glass jar. You could try it but keep an eye on them, if they are drying pretty quick I guess you'll be alrite but after an hour if there still feeling wet on the outside they aren't going to dry and you wouldn't want them getting moldy either.

I'd take it out of the glass jar at the very least though. You want them in open air. They could even dry to some extent just sitting in open air so with a little heat applied maybe it will work out.

Still though just go get the fan, you'll be happy you did.

I know a kid who keeps his out in the open next to his warm compter tower with a fan blowing on then 24hours a day, they take a couple days to dry but come out perfect. No rot, very minimul heat.
I'm sure you can replace a comp. Tower with a warm playstation or cable box...

Yup. Major oxidation with my single shroom in the jar.

I have all of them now, with 4 walls and 1 open space under a heading pad. will get the fan asap.

I'm new dude, so ianyone correct me if I'm wrong here. But I think you would do just as good by placing the heating pad next to the shrooms not under the shrooms, then taking a small desk fan and have the air blow over the heating pad towards your shrooms, so basically your blowing warm air on them. If you want you can step it up with a little damp-rid also.

Just put them in front of a fan for a couple days  - try not to use heat.

When water evaporates because of heat, the molecules begin to move faster (build up  energy) until they gain enough energy to jump off (evaporate). 

When water evaporates due to air flow, the air just takes water molecules along with it.
Even just setting them out on a paper towel will begin them drying.  Unless you're in a humid climate. 

With air, less energy is exerted on the fruit and there is no risk of heat damage.:wink:

I just fan dry mine for 36-48 hours. Completely cracker dry *shrug*

From the reading ive done Psilocin rarely survives the drying process. It reacts with oxygen, so even fan drying is gona do some damage to it.

Psilocyben is much more durable though, and can survive heats of up to 350* degrees. When Psilocyben enters your body it gets converted into psilocin. This is why fresh mushies are stronger.

Ofcourse, thats just from reading ive done. Im in no way a chemist or medical expert.

what really sucks is living in florida, where on a nice breezy day you innocently crack open a couple windows, whereas in a matter of moments your mushies that took two days to dry out have suddenly become saturated with the humid air.
