Damp-Rid Shrooms

Does using Damp-Rid to dry Cubensis lower potency? I usually eat them fresh put the recent flushes have yielded more then usual and I need a good cheap way to dry them. Any advice. Thanks in advance.!!

works great just do not let it contact your shrooms

Well things don't always look as they are and things can be misread and mistaken for what they realy are so don't read too much into what I say since I might be mistaken myself. And remember I rarely ever give a definate answer.

Can one completely dry shrooms with soley Damp Rid, or is it best to use a dehydrator first and then Damp Rid to finish them off?
I would think you would have to exchange for fresh Damp Rid very often if using completely fresh shrooms.

dehydrators are fine on their own.
damp rid and other desiccants are to supplement regular "fan drying"

Dehydrators work well indeed, but if you have an adjustable temperature dehydrator, you may need to finish them off with some desiccant, especially if it is summer and humid.

Good point. I have heard from cultivators who use a desiccant to dry fruits, that they use a fan to start the drying, and move to a desiccant chamber afterward.
Good luck,

I've been using Damp-Rid straight out the gate and about 5 days later they are cracker dry. Like bending the stem and it breaking it clean in half.

Not true if you build a proper Damp-Rid (desiccant) chamber the water will collect in the bottom of the bowl/tub that you are using.

Hahah, Druid, u mad bro?
5 days is way, way too long to dry shrooms. They can rot in that amount of time. You can get it done in 2 days with 24 hours of a fan blowing on them then 24 hours (or so) in a sealed desiccant chamber.
The faster you dry them the better since oxidization is the enemy.

Or you could just eat them all at once and avoid all of this "cracker dry" nonsense.
