Hey guys,
I can't find a dehydrator anywhere. I went to 2 Targets and 3 Walmarts. I know this herb spinner and it's suppose to dry out veggies as you spin it but thats going to take forever. What are other great methods besides the dehydrator? Thanks

I use a fan and it works great. Just point a fan at a mesh cookie stand with all your mushrooms on them. They'll dry within 3 - 4 days.

The space heater dries quick and it doesn't get warm enough to decrease potency, but it will Jack up your electric bill running it 2-3 days straight

This is probably the most dangerous way, but I fan dry it for 48 hours, then put it in a sealed plastic bag along with a glass of NaOH granules. In dries in about 4 hours or less, just have to be damn careful not to get any of it on the shrooms.
I don't want to even think about biting into a lye BB.

Feel free to get spendy on a fancy dehydrator... Completely unnecessary, but to each his own>>>

my comment was to " then put it in a sealed plastic bag along with a glass of NaOH granules". I wouldn't want to do that for this. I agree with you Mr.Sir!

I was tired of fucking with fans and desiccant so I got a food dehydrator at bed bath and beyond. They have great shroomy equipment. And they send those 20% off coupons in the mail all the damn time and you can get text coupons too, so that's cool. The dehydrator was totally worth the price. Call Goodwill and see if they have one, and if not, roll on over to bed bath and beyond, because air drying is a bitch--especially if you grow in any significant quantity.
