Did ruin my shrooms with oven drying?
    #21271822 - 02/14/15 05:04 AM (9 years, 3 months ago)

So I just finished my last flush with my first ever grow of cubensis. I'm a little concerned however because I ate about 1.5g dried from the first flush and barely felt anything (enhanced colors, slightly deeper thinking, some body load, nausea). I assumed it was simply because of a weak flush, but I'm concerned that it may be because of my drying methods. I was unaware that heat destroyed psilocin until after drying all of my flushes.

I dried them by a fan for 48 hours until they were almost cracker dry, then popped them in the oven at 175F for 2 hours to zap the last of the moisture out. Did this ruin my shrooms?

I have no time or opportunity to test my other flushes in the next month or two, so I'm wondering if this was just genetics that caused the first test to be weak, or the oven? Has anyone else had any luck with oven drying, did it ruin your shrooms? Did you have to oven door closed?

Ugh this sucks I'm really worried of seeing all my hard work being a complete waste because of this one fucking mistake

There is a mushroom calculator for dosages you could check out.http://http://www.shroomery.org/6257/Magic-Mushroom-Dosage-Calculator
They were honestly probably a weak flush or just some slight degration. 175 heat should not effect potency. Just eat some more if you feel like they're weaker.

175F is a bit agressive IMHO. I keep to 140 as a limit, thats from research I have done in the past.

In my Shroom munching experience, unless they were are just king Kong strong, 1.5 is only about half of an average dose so... the mild effects you described were about right if you ask me. ive never dried in the oven but if I did, it would b Very low with the door open, enough to create only a small air current with shrooms placed over mesh

Most everyone uses a dehydrator. I think they run around 200 f.
I'm guessing weak genetics.

Other factors could have affected your potency besides drying. Did you harvest as soon as the veil was tearing or did you allow them to keep growing? That in and of itself could have diluted your current batch in regard to potency. Take care!

Simply oven drying won't ruin potency. If you literally burned them maybe.

I've had very potent mushrooms that were oven dried. Leave the door open some. You need air flow not just heat.
