Fan/Air dry them... Or go down on to your local grocery
and pic up a bag of this. Use the search function and look
for a desiccant or damp-rid drying chamber.

Just do not allow the fruits to touch the stuff if you get it.

Yulp fan/air dry works great, its all i do, i dont like dehumidifiers a waste of money IMO, just use a rack and put a fan under or just on it period, depends on how thick they are, it should dry in 1 - 3days

yah you Can also put the mushrooms in a paper bag and spread them out the paper will absorb the moisture. Just be sure not to pack the bag type with mushrooms you still want adequate airflow

Waste of money? I got mine for $8 at a thrift store and I can dry large quantities at once with less potency loss IMO compared to fan drying. Mine are also dry in about 4-8 hours depending on the thickness of the stems.

If you need to 'make' a dehydrator, do the following:

place a 60 or 75 watt incandesent bulb in the bottom of your oven and turn on, get a small (battery powered) fan and put in the bottom blowing upwards.  Place your fruit slices (or shrooms in this case) on cookie sheets in the middle of the oven.  Close the door, but leave it cracked approx 1-2".


The bulb is going to generate your needed heat and the fan will ensure good air currents - warm air will come up over your sheets, cool, and fall back to the floor.  the slight opening of the door is to help regulate the temperature - more closed elevates, more open lowers.

This was stolen straight from Alton Brown of the TV show "Good Eats" - works well on thin fruit slices, i imagine it will work fine in this case as well.

Good post, Alton Brown is THE ultimate food nerd.  I like good eats, I've learned a few tricks from the show.

How is it nonsense?  He's not turning the oven on and the bulb isn't going to generate all that much heat.

Its one cake.

Just eat it all at once. Or store it in the fridge for a week or two.

One flush, from one cake = one trip.

I can agree on average but you never know he could of had a magic cake and pulled what could be 14g off it on one flush.  I've done it before.  Just saying :smile:

Start fan drying. It'll take some time to get most of the moisture out so you can spend tomorrow getting to the store for some damprid, a tupperware container to hold it, and a screen to put the fruits on above that.

Otherwise, fan dry and eat within the next few days.

I do think that oven tek could work. Not ideal, but the science is there. I'd say put the fruits on a cooling rack (wire rack), not on solid bottom cookie sheets.

Dehydrator gets my vote. I've used fan drying as well but a dehydrator is superior.

Since OP doesn't have one yet then fan drying will work as will using an oven. Search function is your friend, OP.

A half oz from one cake, on one flush? Dry?

That's still pretty good for one cake. Good work.

Haha. I've had a ~10 gram dry cake, but total fluke. Half of that was one giant bastard. Wish I would've cloned it

I read a tek to put a black t-shirt over your babies and hit them with a warm lamp for 12 - 24 hours (on a porous surface). Black t-shirt = no UV and mild heat. Apparently good for short term storage... No loss of potency.

If you have enough. Its easy to justify a dehydrator. It really is the way to go.

in the past i have put my oven on as low of temp as possible (mine was 170 i think) and i just leave the oven cracked so it doesn't get super hot. it shouldn't take more than an hour, if that. i put the drying mushrooms on top of a couple pieces of cardboard. only downside is that it can take away from how the mushroom looks in the sense that the caps can shrivel and crack more so than normal.
