Liberty Cap Question
    #19155198 - 11/18/13 04:32 PM (10 years, 2 months ago)

Hi everyone,

I know this probably isn't the right place to ask this question but I couldn't find anywhere else.

I just wanted to ask how long liberty caps usually take to dry out fully? I've put them on plain A4 printing paper, will they stick to it? If so, can you recommend anything else I should put them on?

Thank you!

What, like a dehydrator?  Just kidding. :wink:

I would recommend paper towels, which are made to absorb moisture.  Possibly paper towels in a cracked oven with the heat on minimum.  They won't stick to printer paper, but it's less than ideal, ya know?  I can't tell you how long it'll take to dry out liberty caps, which are much smaller than the cubensis I usually dry and will hit cracker dry much sooner.  I can tell you they're not ready until they break rather than bend.

Haha thank you :cool:

They are only small and after a day in a shoebox on A4 printing paper they haven't stuck and they seem pretty dried out. I'm still giving them maybe a little while before I store them in a jar.

Open air is better than a closed environment like a shoebox for drying; an open shoebox will be much more productive.  And make sure they're absolutely dry by breaking a cap in half--it should snap, rather than tear.  If there's any flex to it at all, throw it in the oven on warm.  Mushrooms that are put away in bags with moist insides tend to rehydrate the outer parts and then it all molds and goes to hell, and we don't want to ruin all the hard work you put in on your hands and knees.

I agree with van der griegen except I always check to see if they're dry by bending the stem. The caps dry out first, in my experience, so it's really the stems you have to watch out for. If you want them to dry faster, cut the stems in half right down the middle with a razorblade. If you happen to have a space heater lying around, pointing one of those at your shrooms will make 20 grams almost completely dry in less than 24 hours.
