Oven drying

I've been searching now for a little while on oven drying but I can't seem to find a definite answer about it. I've noticed some people say oven drying is good and some say not to do it. I was wondering if anybody here uses an oven drying method to dry out there booms, and if so could also tell me how exactly they do it or on the flipside if someone has good evidence of why someone should not oven dry that would be welcomed too.

Some say heat kills psilocin(that might be true with very high temps)but i think that oven drying is just fine! 99% of a time i use air drying(fan),but somethimes when in rush i use oven with no potency loss! I put them in,set the oven on minimum,crack open the oven door and put the fan in front of it(facing inside).

you use fan drying for the whole thing? I usually fan dry for roughly 24 hours then put into a container with some damp-rid, but damp-rid is beginning to cost a little to much. I always thought a fan wouldent get them 100% dry though they always feel leathery to me after fanning

I put a batch of B+ in the oven a few years back and my low setting was too high.. we ate them and nothing happened. Pretty shitty experience. Now I let them fan dry for a few days.

dood dont use heat when you dry. i mean theres a chance it wont have too much of an affect but psilocybin is a very unstable chemical.

doesn't a dehydrator use heat to dry the material also though? I actually am about finished drying them in my toaster oven I guess I'll figure it out when its finished. I just set the toaster oven to 150 and i checked the temp and its not even that hot its only doing 140 so I'll report back with what happened.

Yes it does use heat on the most part(there are models you can turn it off on, or even disconnect the heat source) I have never noticed potency loss due to a dehydrator

I'm a little confused, if both an oven and a dehydrator use a low amount of heat why is the oven so bad? seem like as long as you have a method to remove the humidity in the oven all would be well

The thing about a dehydrator is that it is moving air because yes it is heated but there is a fan to blow the warm air around.. Where an oven your using still hot air to dry/cook your shrooms..

cuz lowest setting on the oven is 250 which is a lot higher than the max on the dehydrator which is usually around 150.
So as guy above noted, you can leave the oven door ajar and get some air goin thru there and you'll be golden.

Personally I would fan dry or buy a dehydrator.. Those are the best 2 ways I have found for drying cubes.. But give the oven a shot and see what happens

How long do you plan on having them in there ?
My dehydrator does them in about 4-6 hours. And that is 5 trays full of them..

they've been in there for a couple hours or so already and about done, I should add I fan dried them prior to this its just to humid to get them totally dry with that method which is where this dilemma came from. I imagine they'll take a minute though looks like its a few zips dry. If they get messed up it will be sad but my second flush is coming in right now anyways so not a huge lose.

You should be find then.. You shouldn't get any potency loss because honestly I cook my shrooms into food sometimes and they are just fine.. As long as you don't allow them at extreme temps for extreme times your potency should and will stay the same..
