Could I put shrooms in dissicant for 3-4 hours then let them air dry?

I don't have much time as my mothers in the hospital now... Looking for a way to dry shrooms w dissicant or a heater fan before 1 or 2... Don't want any loss of potency in this trying hour

Firstly, hope all is well with your mom. To answer your question, nah. It's used as an extra safety measure for storage. desiccant wouldn't dry your shrooms for you unless they were already 95% dry. Why don't you air dry for now, dehydrate them later, and store them with desiccant packs last?

Plus you won't lose potency if you leave them to air dry.

stick them in oven with door open 120c :smile:
cracker dry in no time, especially so with fan assisted ovens.
you wont lose potency from the heat as its not hot enough.
you will actually save potency compared to a lenghthy air dry as there is less time exposed to air so less oxidisation of actives will occur than when air drying. :smile:

if your worried about the heat use 60-80c to be conservative but really the actives are safe till quite an extreme temp.

air drying is the worst you can do the slower they dry the worse. while they're wet oxidation reactions happen and can degrade. you want to dry them as fast as possible. most people use a food dehydrator set to 160F.

desiccant is for keeping dry things dry or drying out nearly dry things. if you use desiccant with wet shrooms you will end up with moldy shit in a day or two.

you can fan dry for 24+ hours then use desiccant but that's sub par to use a heated food dehydrator.

if you cant dry them in less than 24 hours make tea with them. psilocin and psilocybin are very water soluble and boiling water is an excelent solvent for the actives.

you can cook shrooms with butter in a pan and they're still going to make you trip. time not heat is your enemy.

Ok, so I used desiccant for the for 24-48 hours, leaving them inside a sealed bag and not touching the chemical. Achieving a cracker dry shroom is good idea for making shroom chocolates? I don't need to necessarily hold on to them for more than 2-3 months - they will all be gone in the summer... Also, the shrooms room temp they could be drying out in is about 78 degrees

break one in half and see if the inside is completely dry to make sure you don't get rotten shrooms in your chocolates

Why? Everyone said to air dry them first. I bet they're getting a bit rotten by now.

i recommend common sense and figuring it out.

These are the TEKs I use. They're all as cheap and easy as possible, just like your mom.
