hi mr rabbit, the same thing happened to my cousin. the fruits were almost completely bone dried in small dessicant box-chamber.
Then the fresh ones were added and they released their moisture only to be absorbed by the dry ones.
make yourself a second chamber if you can or pre-dry the second fruits on a window screen.hope that helps.

To avoid this problem, try air drying your shroomies first, then using dessicant for final drying. A air dry box it easy to make. any container will do. you just need a small fan blowing in or out. and small holes on the opposite sides of the container. drys them fairly fast. using this and dessicant means dry shrooms in about 3 days rather than 4-5 with dessicant only. This is especially helpfull when you harest a large batch at once. sometimes dessicant just cant suck the moisture out fast enought, and the shrooms will bruise or rot. ------------------

You might want to try drying over or in front of a fan. You can use hardware cloth to make trays or regular window screen to make an "envelope" to dry the shrooms in. Best way I have found is to dry over a fan. If your shrooms are small or are abhorts, fold a piece of window screen in half and staple the edges, load your shrooms, staple the last edge, and hang in front of a fan or over one. After they are dry, place in a glass jar, add a little dessicant in a salt shaker to help absorb and excess humidity. My shrooms last for 6-8 months and are still dry when I take them out to grind them up. No loss in potency. The pics should help you visualize what I am talking about.     ------------------
