My dehydrator bruised my shrooms?
    #21334910 - 02/26/15 07:29 PM (9 years, 2 months ago)

Hey guys. So recently I picked up a dehydrator and I used it to dry one of my harvests. The dehydrator left there weird stripe like bruises all over my shrooms. They're not even dry yet. Will this effect potency or do dehydrators usually do this kind of stuff?? THanks for the help guys :rockon:

Is it a stackable dehydrator that is kinda smooshing large shrooms?

I only had one tray on it :L Does the heat mess with the potency at all? There's plenty of room in there. It's one I got at walmart. I can't really take a pic, I lost my phone somewhere in my house

Im curious to know this as well. I have the dehydrator from walmart. No levels, just plug in and it turns on. Here's a pic of what mine looks like. Its a presto brand.

I set My dehydrator on 100 degrees and walk away for 20 hours . I've never noticed blue stripes . Maybe it is squishing them . Heat degrades the actives I'm just not really sure about how much heat .

Funky

I usually leave mine on for 8 hours and they are cracker dry. I wonder if letting them air dry would be better?

It takes a lot of heat.  Your mushrooms are fine, but you'll need to show us pictures for us to really narrow down what was causing the bruising because that never happens to me.

The bruising was only on the largest fruits. I didn't have a large harvest. I really just wanted to test it out with my mini harvest. Would bruising effect potency much? I've read very mixed things on bruising effects potency.

If it's squishing them between trays, you can get spare trays and cut the centers out of them to make spacers for your stack.
Or you can go the route I do, and just chop the caps off your larger fruits and lay them flat.  I've got a L'Equipe dehydrator that I use for everything in my kitchen, and the trays aren't very tall at all.
