Too dry?
    #18995550 - 10/18/13 01:07 PM (10 years, 3 months ago)

Is it possible to dry mushrooms too much with a dehydrator? I ask because i recently just got my food dehydrator and dryed some mushies.

no, but I warped my bottom tray when my dehydrator wasn't full. I couldn't get to them for 24 hrs and it warped my bottom 2 trays.

my temp was at 125 degrees

That must be one shitty dehydrator.

If it warps at 125F, then I hope no one in a hot climate leaves one in the car after purchasing.

My nesco will run for 24 hours @ 165F and not break a sweat.

Sure the plastic is more pliable, as are most plastics when heated up, but it is not warped.

I got the nesco gardenmaster

it still works fine, i just put the warped ones near the top because there is a small gap now.

maybe because it's a 1000W?

1000W should get hotter than 125F....

Mine is only 400w and it hits 165F...

I have the FD-37.

the temp dial goes from 90 to 160. I haven't tested with my digi thermometer though... it could be hotter.

I know I wasn't drying at max.

Why not?

They dry faster, which means less potential potency loss.

That's how you want them, nice and crumbly. But its pointless to let them go longer after they're cracker dry.when I feel they're cracker dry I let them go another four hours just to make sure all moisture is gone.anything after that is overkill.

just timing. Schedule only allows me to go there once a day. If it's full they are perfect if I leave them for 24 hrs.

this one was only 2 trays out of 6 and those were kinda sparce. anyway live and learn... trays are replaceable and machine is under warranty for 3 years
