If they stalled that early, and have shown no signs of growth since, then that usually points to contams man.  I'd still give'm some more time like Bodhi says, if they still don't move, birth'm and smell'm.  IF they smell bad, out in the yard they go...even if they don't smell bad, i would fruit them separate from your others...just in case.

cut them with a knife or scissor close to the base and then throw them in a ~160F dehydrator for a day

thats what i was thinkin, how would i make one is there a place on the site for directions? and how about a fan, is that a bad way? and as for consumption, never had wet (freshly picked) shroom. if i have had about 4 grams of dry how much wet should i plan, i know everyone is different and everything but i have heard that fresh is more potent then dry.

this is how you make a dehydrator, go to work for 2-3 hours. Cash in your paycheck, drive to the store, buy one, bring it home, put your shrooms in. If you're harvesting 10 pounds a week then fan dry them first so they're smaller to fit more in your dehydrator to finish them off.

mushrooms are ~90% water 4g dry is 40g wet.

chances are you'll like the fresh mushroom trip better; reason being you think they're better fresh. Placebos are awesome. They'll usually work even if you know that it's placebo

everything is better fresh! shoot for about 40 grams, if you fan dry they won't get cracker dry but you can toss it in the oven with the door open for a few minutes to get the last bit out or if it's just a little bit the crisper in the fridge works well too

I understand i could go out and buy one but i want to make one, theres no point in spending money on something i can just make. And 40 grams sounds like a lot hahaha... is that the equivalent to 4 grams dry.

The dehydrator is worth it man...super fast.  I got a 5 tier for 50 bucks...cheap in Canada.  I live in the retail arsehole of the world, so if i can get one, you can.

EDIT.  If you want to make one, check this out.  YOu can replace the dehydrator elements with CPU fans, or whatever you got that will move air.

it will cost you more to make one, you need a heating element like nichrome wire and then a thermostat control then a fan to blow through the wire and have it calibrated so it doesn't get too hot or too little heat. Then you need to make a way to blow the air efficiently through the trays or boxes so that it doesn't waste potential. If you can make a dehydrator as good as nesco you need another job. They're engineered to be efficient. You want the heated dry air to flow through the racks in a efficient manner. Just buy a dehydrator they're like 20-30$ easily found or like 40$ if you go to a big store.

if you want to build a dehydrator the solar type might work well but I'm assuming it's quite the wrong time of year where you live for that.

Yes, 40 grams wet is around 4 grams dry. Check the thrift store. You'll probably find a cheap used dehydrator if you don't feel like putting out the cash for a new one.

the salt stuff is to finish drying fan dried shrooms. The stuff is desiccant and it won't dry wet shrooms only ones that are nearly cracker dry, It will also keep them dry but often times is a complete mess and takes forever. Dry them quickly to lock in the potency.

it blows my mind, all the time spent to make fruits with great hassle your first time usually then you want to fuck up the fruits of your labor by cutting corners with the finished product.
