I still don't own a dehydrator. To fan dry I lay down paper towels infront of a box fan or desk fan and just kinda rotate them once or twice a day to make sure the ones on the bottom spend some time on top.  I fan dry for two days then put in a desiccant chamber for 1 or 2 days.  Works fine.  I haven't noticed any loss in potency.  Dehydrators are just faster.  Some people think that the longer you take to dry them the more potency they lose but I really haven't found that.



i could honestly second that one, any loss couldn't be that noticable




If anything using a dehydrator with heat seems more likely to cause a loss. I'm sure it is negligible but I swear by cool drying and using desiccant and I own a dehydrator...

Very interesting man, I've read heat does not degrade if its under 150 and I've read the opposite. I am anxious to try both methods, this wont be my first rodeo :smile: I plan on keeping this as a full time hobby of mine.

Yeah that's pretty much what I'm saying is it really doesn't matter one way or the other them shrooms will still be hella potent. To be honest the main reason I use a box fan and desiccant is because I can dry hundreds of shrooms at once without having to break the stems off and cram them in the dehydrator batch after batch. I still use the dehydrator for the super water-logged ones I find when it floods.

i also personally have never owned a dehydrator. when i have a lot, like a backpack full of fresh outdoor harvest, i just place them in front of a window fan.
But also i live in a pretty dry area (when its cold), there have been many times i accidentally left a bunch of shrooms laid out on a paper towel overnight, and they just shriveled up and dried on their own. unless you have ounces upon ounces to dry, a simple window/dask fan, or even fanning them yourself a few times a day would probably do it.

but if you already have the dehydrator, itll do it a little bit faster. my main quarrel with dehydrators is losing another square foot of storage in my apartment XD.

just make sure they crack and snap when broken before putting them in a bag

Awesome :smile: Do you guys think I'll get another fat boy like that out of the same syringe? I have about 4 ccs left in my Amazonian syringe I plan to knock up here soon. That mushroom is just so pretty! If I were more advanced id clone it and  grow nothing but them monsters!

Tough to say, obviously the most sure way would be to clone the fat boy, but, anything that happened once could happen again.  Everyone says genetics are a crapshoot and I think for the most part they really are but you can be kinda sure that one set of spores from the same print is gonna  KINDA look alike when fruited.  Guess you'll just have to grow more to find out. :wink:

I truly feel blessed to have such fruits gifted to me my first run :smile: I GUESS..I MEAN I GUESS In the name of science I could inoc the rest of them amazon spores in hopes of another fatty.

Ive accidentally left a few shrooms in the fridge for 3-4 days. Still fine when I took them out. Look at the grocery store for example.

The five colors blind the eye,
The five tones deafen the ear,
The five flavors dull the taste.

Racing and hunting madden the mind,
Precious things lead one astray.

Therefore the sage is guided by what he feels and not what he sees.
He lets go of this and chooses that.

This was a concern of mine. I may try it both ways just as an experimental thing on my next run.



I just did it both ways dew to a lack of space in my dehydrator and it made no difference.
