drying mushrooms
    #12552058 - 05/12/10 09:39 PM (14 years, 8 months ago)

I have a couple large mushrooms, one that has a cap that is 2 1/2 in. wide.  I need to pick and dry them immediately.

I have a fan, a space heater, oven that can go down to 170 degrees, salt, and ice melter. 

What combinations of these will work best in preserving the potency and getting them cracker dry?

Use a fan to dry them until they are pretty close to being cracker dry. Then make a desiccant chamber and put some damp rid in it. Gets them cracker dry. :thumbup:

Well start by drying them with the fan and then during that time research how to dry them with epsom salt, if you have that. It'll work too, but damp rid is the best.
