issues staying dry
    #18951385 - 10/08/13 07:47 PM (10 years, 3 months ago)

Hey guys a while ago I posted about my mushrooms not staying dry when I put them in bags and I was told it would be best to get a vacume sealer so over time I saved up enough to get one so I re-dried and vacume sealed my mushrooms and recently I checked them and they weren't solid dry they were bendy in the vac seal bag so I was wandering how do you guys keep your mushrooms dry over long periods of time with no loss of potency?

I have had this problem before and now i run them in the dehydrator for around 2 days (at 85F) and then put them in a zip-lock bag and straight into the freezer. 
Sometimes when picking them off the trays, they have stuck a little bit and the thin stemmed ones break apart so I know they are as dry as they can be. and the freezer will stop them from getting limp again

A little trick to make mushrooms easier to get off your dehydrator trays is to cut pieces of window screen and put on your dehydrator racks.

Op your probably not getting your mushrooms completely dry all the way to the center to start with. If you have a whole bag of completely dry mushrooms and you put one mushroom in there that is not all the way dry it will dampen the rest of the mushrooms

i dry in a dehydrator for 6-8 hours ( thats what the manual tells me to do lol) then after the 8 hours i test the fattest shroom to make sure its cracker dry. Then i get damprid and put it in empty tea bags.  I get 2 gallon sized ziploc bags, fill one entirely with shrooms and 2 tea bags of damprid then put this bag inside one more (empty) ziploc bag that has 1-2 damprid tea bags in it. they have stayed cracker dry for me for a few months
