Over dried shrooms ... possible?
    #18850700 - 09/16/13 06:56 PM (10 years, 5 months ago)

this is dumb question but I have to ask it

I left for a job, 4 weeks, and just got back
Have had my last batch of mushrooms drying out
They are very, very, very dry

Can mushrooms be over dried and lose their potency?

Over dried isnt an issue (and cant really be an issue). The drier the better. Just keep it away from heat

Heat will not affect potency until FAR above 300F.

I use my dehydrator which gets to about 160F for 24 hours straight with 0 potency loss.

Unless he's going to be putting then in the oven like,400·, than he's fine. How do you think people make tea without issues?

:rolleyes:

Only oxidation and vaporization of actives will affect psilocybin.  Heat will increase the rate of oxidation, but it is still less than multiple days in front of fans, when you can be done within 8 (edit:18, not 8) hours in a dehydrator.

Come on.  If dehydrators caused problems, serious growers wouldn't be using them.

Fear of using a dehydrator is rooted in pure myth.

I use a dehydrator, many members use a dehydrator. Myself and other members, as well as my friends and I'm sure members' friends, can all attest the fact that there is no appreciable potency loss when using a dehydrator.

If you still fear using heat, then you probably think light is a main pinning trigger and the Earth was created 6,000 years ago.

So, keep banging those rocks together and and making LC.

Its a one time heat treatment to get the goods into the water. Are you daft? Try storing mushrooms at that temperature and enjoy your loss in potency. Its obvious 8 hours at 160 in a dehydrator wont do much. Constant heat source in open air will certainly damage some of the goods.

Store a quarter of mushrooms in your car and leave it parked outside in the heat for a day or two. Eat them (at your regular dose), and let me know how that works out for you.

I enjoyed your first edit more (who doesnt like facepalming Mario?), but Ill quote the picture for both of you:

They will work fine.

In fact, I have done this (leaving them in the car on accident). It was nearly 100F a couple summers ago when I did that. They were in there for 2-3 weeks...unsure of exactly how long.

They worked great.

If they were sitting out in the open absorbing moisture, it will speed oxidation of the actives...but mine were in a ziplock.

Either way, heat doesn't kill potency.  That's some bullshit. There are threads where people have tried to destroy the actives by cooking the mushrooms at various temps...RR even spoke of doing it on a high-temp BBQ.

Guess what? They all still tripped nuts.

:thumbup:

Yes, you can bump my old threads with a question.

You can put freshies on a pizza and cook it normally and they will still be plenty active.

Hey dudes.

My girlfriend was just drying our awesome weekend pick (30 or so gold caps) and I accidentally turned the oven up to 270 celcius (over 500F). She noticed it and switched it off but might be too late !!! We usually dry them in the cold oven but with the fan on. I turned the dual the wrong way...

The shrooms have gone a bit brown. Have I ruined them? I can post a pic when I get home from work tonight.

You bumped an eight month old thread to ask this?  I KNOW it warned you that your post had to be relevant to proceed. :stars:

If they're browned from the heat you probably ruined them but there's only one end-all way to tell, and we can't help you there.  I hope you like em crispy.  Hell, they might even work.
