Thanks everybody for all the information. Tonight I'm going to post a pic of the veil breaking.
I had something on my mind. If you have 1 dried mushie that weighs 3g and a weight equivalent of multiple mushies, would it affect you the same if eaten?

yes pretty much, and make sure to have the "dimple" on the cakes facing up, not down. you can put a small amount of vermiculite in that dimple and pour a small amount of water into it to create a small resovoir of water that gravity will pull down into the cake. I was putting the dimple facing down for the longest Time and it was causing cobweb mold to grow underneath my cakes from the small amount of trapped air underneath the cake

No, assuming you are providing sufficient fanning to ensure there is no standing water.
if you are misting 500 times a day you aren't letting relative humidity build up in the chamber. that would be considered overwatering. if your sgfc is built correctly, it is elevated and there are holes in the bottom, unless you are dumping water in the perlite there shouldn't be any standing water in the chamber ever
Obviously its within reason. And I was more referring to the amount of water in one sitting more than the number of times. I doubt OP is just going to sit there and spray them on the hour.
Also, some half pint jars, like Kerr half pints, build a small dimple at the center of the cake where water can run down from all sides and make a small pool. It is important not to have standing water there either. Im well aware of how a functioning SGFC works.
who knows, there's some real idiots here that should grow some common sense rather than mushrooms, no offense op, you seem to be asking a lot of the same questions I had on my first grow, so I'm glad to help if I can.

I'm surprised with how large the only two mature fruits are! Don't you think that one mushie is going to weigh over a gram dry?? maybe two!?!

You can expect ~10% dry weight from wet.

If those are about the size Im thinking they are (~15-20g wet) Then Im guessing about 1.5G per shroom. Im guessing around 3.0G dried for both, together.
If so, its probably a great trip if you take em together. ENJOY!

What would the best and easiest way to dry mushies?? My plan was just to leave them out in open air until dry then store in jars.

I leave a fan on them for a day or two, then put them into a desiccant box to finish. don't use heat to dry them if you do. for that small amount though, yeah not a big deal just lay them in front of a fan for a day or two, then eat them

Why not? Heat does not affect potency until FAR past 300F, while most dehydrators do not make it past 160F.
There is actually more potency loss from exposure to oxygen than anything, so get them cracker dry and sealed up as soon as possible.
You accomplish this in a food dehydrator using heat.

the less your fresh fruits are exposed to oxygen the better, pluck em dry em, and store in dark room temps in a ziplock bag

chances are the kid don't have a food dehydrator, he can dry them in front of a fan just fine. I'm just making sure he don't blast them in the oven. wow you always gotta be combative and belligerent on here

lol misinformation? I never said nothing about heat destroying anything, all I said was don't use it, he's got two shrooms bro, use a fan. I just stated since don't use heat because like the title of the thread implies he's new to this, and I've read enough posts in here with people without a clue that I don't think there was anything wrong with telling him not to use heat to dry his fruits. once he understands more and has enough fruits to use a food dehydrator, by all means use one, but in this situation I'm assuming he doesn't have one, so put them in front of a fan and they will be fine. thanks
