this is 100% incorrect.
im sorry.
no its not. noone lives in a humid enough environment for them to rehydrate. if you do them i suggest saying fuck the fruiting chamber and just grow on your floor. lol i let shrooms sit out for months before in the open air they keep getting drier and i live in a normal climate.

I live in a desert. I can leave my mushrooms out in the open indefinitely.
If I leave my wet mushrooms on a plate and point a fan at them, the dry in <24 hours. If I store them in a sealable bag, an unsealed plastic bag, a paper bag or out on a table or something, they stay cracker dry.
I doubt that this would happen in most other people's climates, though.

Yea the guy who is saying they won't rehydrate must live somewhere dry. Either that or he means they won't re-inflate, which should be obvious to everyone. They will stay looking all shriveled up but will absorb moisture. This is due to osmosis, which is the specific name for the diffusion of water.
In most of the world mushrooms left unsealed will rot in an obvious way within I'd say a year. Also they might make you sick long before that.
Its also possible that your house is very dry due to forced air heating or air conditioning of some kind which removes moisture from the air. If you run a humidifier in the same room as open cracker dry mushrooms they won't stay craker dry for long. Even a plate with water beside them and they won't stay cracker dry.
Thats interesting about the chips, I thought it was something to do with a chemical reaction like how bread goes stale.

What you call cracker dry must not be the same i call cracker dry. Those bitches will get soo dry they turn to powder. I live no where near the desert i live up north on the east coast and i can set my harvest out in mid air and it will become cracker dry. once they are dry they never once rehydrate. i left them out in the open i put them in sealed jars every reasonable variable. If your cracker dry mushrooms rehydrate or rot then you obviously dont kno what your doing.

You don't need to live in a dessert to have a low relative humidity in your home/area. Keep that in mind boys.. relative humidity determines how much moisture is in the air surrounding your dry mushrooms. If you don't dry properly moisture from the inside moistens the outer surface of the mush and it wont crack or powder.
If you have crackly crispy powdery mush, and it goes to a place of higher relative humidity, it will absorb that humidity, and become soft and mroe maleable.
I know for a fact though sporesmore420, that there are several tropical places that can change a cracker dry shroom or cracker or shirt into a damp and soft item. Its simple logic. You cant stay indefintely drier then the environment around you.

Maybe in the tropics, if your living in a place that humid why are you even using a fruiting chamber?

Well if you are in the tropics, I guess they will grow outdoors pretty good. They do grow outdoors in nature, right?
Not everyone wants to grow outdoor though.
