Basmackin said: Hello, I've been lurking here for quite a while and the reason I decided to finally post something, is because I'm facing a little problem.
See, I recently ordered a growkit (yes, I know) and everything went fine and dandy with the first flush. Only problem now is, that I've underestimated the drying process. I thought that would just require me to stick the mushrooms in a dry place for a week or so, but I recently learned otherwise, and since this little operation is a covert one, I can't use any of the methodes described on this website. I currently have the first flush in a paper bag in a drawer.
Would the mushrooms lose potency if I had them there for a week? How much in a hurry am I to find a way to dry them?
Like you I have a pention for discretion. I pick when they're ready (veils are about to break), then I simply leave them on a cookie sheet (hide it under the bed or somewhere else out of sight) for 2-3 days, then I put them in a desiccant chamber. What's a desiccant chamber you might ask?
1 - Go to the Dollar General 2 - Buy a cheap plastic tupperware like container. 3 - Buy a wire metal strainer slightly larger in diameter than the tupperware opening and cut out the strainer mesh part. **Steps 2-3 shouldn't cost you more than $15** 4 - Fill the bottom 1/2 - 1 inch of your cheap plastic tupperware container with Damp Rid. 5 - Position the cut out strainer mesh about an inch above the the damp rid. 6 - Put your semi-fresh mushies on the strainer mesh and the lid securely on the tupperware container.
Wait 48 hours. You know they are ready ("cracker dry" is the term you'll hear) when if you try to fold the mushroom at it's thickest point and it just breaks. In other words doesn't bend at all, just breaks. Like a cracker.
If your capable of getting to the point where your getting fruit bodies from a FC stealthy like, than you should be more than capable of hiding a tupperware bowl with drying shrooms!
A0 PS. Yes I can't spell for shit, and I'm not going to use spell cheker. Deal with it haighters!
