Alton brown tek

So does anyone here watch good eats? if you don't, i recommend it!
anyways, in his jerky episode he found a home air filter the same size as a box fan, put his cured meat in the corrugated slots, and layered about 4 of these filters on top of each other, then sealed to the positive side of the fan.
I would assume that this same tek would work for mushrooms and i am curious to try! may not be the most practical method, but i think it would work, and add that extra bit of air filtration (if you use hepa at least, but no real need in drying correct?)
I think i will try it out on my first flush, and ill post pics! stay tuned!

I'm trying out a different alton brown method, the one with a cardboard box and a heating element (space heater) for the smoking episode.

haha yes! but remember, heat and psilocybin are not friends! im pretty sure it starts to decompose at ~150 degrees Fahrenheit. Someone correct me if i am wrong here.

ok i'll correct you your wrong

oxygen and sunlight cause potency loss, extreme heat will but you can make tea (200*F+) and not lose potency. 
dry as fast as you can (dehydrator is the best option) and store in a cool dark air tight place like a mason jar or in a ziplock in a storage tub/drawer or something. 
 i think it's far past 300....

Agreed infact the last 2 times i made tea i forgot to turn the heat down and had such an agressive boil that the water was foaming up to the top of the pot.
My tea was plenty potent. I do a 10 minute simmer but it usually ends up close to a boil and have no noticable loss in potency from fresh mushrooms.
And as cronicr says the temps that start to degrade actives are far higher than 150f.
Dehydrators are usually the best method for drying.
Im going to be doing the same thing as you with a space heater on a low setting and a box with some kind of grill to allow air flow.

Shroomery should code a fact checker for peoples posts. Screens them for unsound information. Should be quite easy for trivial stuff like this.
I mean no offense of course; we are all learning here.

none taken. i mean everyone should be able to be told that they are wrong. That why i asked in the first place, because i was unsure. i wasnt proposing it as fact.
