Bruising is not the actives reacting to the heat.
Bruising and potency have nothing in common.
Sure, but that is not what I said. I am sure they will still work fine when I eat them, but they just don't look like it should. The dehydrator I have has the same temp as yours, so I wonder why I get a different result. I did just set it up with one fresh mushroom in there to see what happens.

Most people on here make drying mushrooms so much more complicated than it needs to be. It's not that hard guys. You pick the mushrooms, you put them in a food dehydrator with the heat turned way up, and pull them out about 12 hours later (or whenever they are cracker dry) and stick them in a sealed container. Gee whiz!
If you don't have a dehydrator then go buy one! You'll be glad you did 
Sorry for the rant but Damn guys c'mon

Well my fresh mushroom did dry perfectly, makes me mull what went wrong when they came out very shrunken and black. I do agree a food dehydrator is the easiest and fastest way to dry.

I had a ton of mushrooms turn black as hell trying to dry them with a fan too

That turned into this

I bought a dehydrator right after that it gets up to like 170 F inside I pack all four trays full of mushies and about 5 hours gets em cracker dry and there potent as fuck would never dry them any other way

They look exactly the same. I see they are fat-asses, the mushrooms I did see it happen to were fat-asses too but the mushrooms I dried yesterday were not. Maybe that is the difference?

I have found that cutting out pieces of window screen to line your dehydrator trays works really well. When they are dry you just pick up the screen off the rack, fold it in half, and dump them in the bag
I wouldn't recommend using window screen mesh. It isn't food safe, and I think I remember reading/hearing somewhere that moisture can cause certain minerals/toxins to leech out of the metal. There are food safe plastic meshes for dehydrators though.

I normally fan dry my shrooms for 2-3 days. Then I put them in the top of my of my closet on aluminum foil. I have a few peyote cactus growing on the middle shelf so I have a small space heater in the bottom I keep the heat at 85-87ºf humidity is very low If any at all. Normally in two more days my shrooms are cracker dry ground up in a coffee grinder and capsuled in size 000 works great if you have a spare closet.

heres the thing, you find it so useful to ridicule people with posts that you've searched, but find it hard to be so prompt to back up this claim..
I'll take it in this case, documentation doesnt exist.

I am tired of using the search function for people....
If you think what I am saying is a falsehood, please prove me wrong.
