Crunchy dry

I ate some mushies yesterday that I oven dried on 170F. They weren't just normal cracker dry, they actually crunched in my mouth and broke off in tiny pieces. Did not get that porridge/paste texture as I was chewing them at all.
When I chewed it made a lot of noise, reminded me of the Pringles commercial and that "Crunch" sound that comes when the pringles-head eats a flake.
Is this too dry? It's all MS, but I think I ate maybe 4-5 g and did not feel the same effects as I normally do. Any thoughts?

No, that's not too dry. And have you been doing them a lot lately? I go months between uses to keep myself from building a tolerance.

No such thing.

As van der grigen said, tolerance does play a big role but IMO, ms is a big one as well. I try to limit my genetics a lot with ms because of this. Usually 3 at transfers at least before inoculation. When I was first starting I had a flush where I ate 3-4 grams and felt nothing the first time. A week later ate 4 grams from the same flush and got destroyed.
Now I only do small scale grows with MS and save the bigger ones for when I know what I'm working with.

haven't eaten any in months. It just felt all wrong compared to how they usually feel to eat and chew.
Would this mean my previously cracker dry shrooms weren't cracker dry at all?
They made a pasty sticky goo in my mouth while these oven dried ones just broke to smithereens. .

Yeah sounds like they weren't properly dry to me. Get a dehydrator, best $35 I ever spent.

Now you know why it's called "cracker" dry and not sloppy cracker dry.

you could also pick some on on ebay/amazon used for like $10 or so. Also, Target sometimes has deals on them, same with Walmart. i got my Sonco or something for like $17 total. 5 years in the game stills works like a charm.

KEITH APICARY RULES!!!!!!!!! hahahaha
the oven may not be the best method of drying. Since the large space the heat never holds to one true temp. you could have gotten as hot as 185-190 since the temperature would have varied.
could have broken down chemicals you didnt mean too.

Nah, current opinion is that it doesn't. Psilocybin is heat-stable way past boiling, so temperatures in that range are no problem.

If you dry them over Calcium Chloride for some weeks in an air tight chamber they will be just as dry. Don't let the desiccant get on the shrooms, better mount two chambers on top of each other and put a filtering barrier in between. What do you actually mean by too dry? Everything else then crunchy dry is not really dry I suppose.
