Two tips for beginners and experienced alike :)
    #12596444 - 05/20/10 06:17 AM (14 years, 7 months ago)

Just some basic tips I felt like some people prob weren't aware of, if you've only been cultivating for a while.

1) For drying, get a dehydrator. It took me 8 years from my first flush to finally use the one another shroomerite gave me years back. My drying time went from 48hrs to 12hrs, and it would probably be less but I leave them overnight anyway.

Theres no noticable potency loss at 110F, which is what I use, and you could probably go higher as well. Also, in 8 years, I never truly knew what 'cracker dry' meant. Cracker dry mushrooms also have no taste whatsoever - and I had stems/caps that were always rock hard, but not cracker dry, thus you could still taste.



2) To remove vermiculite and substrate/casing material from the fruit, dry it first, then put it in a ziplock bag. Then work your hands throughout the bag, and nearly EVERYTHING falls off. Trust me, and try this, I've never went back :smile:

Thanks for the advice. Never thought about using a bag to remove verm.

Years back, first starting... I struggled with fan/desiccant BS.
Then bought a NESCO American Harvest dehydrator.
LOL, difference is like night & day. Cracker dry overnight @ 110F
Fan/desiccant is a PITA & BS
Then bought a food saver vaccum sealer & bags for storage.
Sure makes life easy.
