Lol, reminds me of my first mono. I had to make a drying rack out of a hanging cloth shelf, like this one.

Actually they don't.

The actives don't break down until the temps get super high, as is evident here. A dehydrator is superior... I'm just lazy lol

Dehydrators do not rob you of potency, nor quality. They are incredibly great for drying out large amounts of fruits.
A PC and a dehydrator are probably the best investments I made for this hobby. But I'm gonna need a new dehydrator soon, I got one from my dad's house that's been there for at least 10 years. From me using it, the plastic top, and some of the trays have began warping.

You can even use an open oven, but that isn't an option where I live

How do you do it? I traded herb for one back in the day, it has like seven racks. Everytime I use it I feel like the things just get cooked to a crisp. It works good for jerky and fruit.

Why is it that you cant? seems simple enough.
Here are the pics i promised Myco-ninja
These all have starch and potato scraps along with the other usual stuff, I just did them 2 days ago My fist sub was amazonian, these are hawaiian and burma. Ill add sugars to some once they are more colonized.

Here is the LC I let this one have temp fluctuation: The result was enzyme secretions and clumping As you can see they are feeding on the minerals from the rocks I put in. The other two are incubated at 78 F

I live with two good friends, one of which owns the house. The owner has no problem with me cultivating, he just doesn't want to see any of it. I've been looking into new places for a while, nothing yet but fingers crossed.
I tried making an LC once. It went to shit and I've just used MS ever since. I've been looking into agar, but I have a hard enough time keeping everything sterile as it is (my room is the attic, converted to a bedroom), so I just use MS. Significantly less fuck ups 
Those bins look good so far to me, looks like they're colonizing just fine. Keep us posted dude, good work for a first timer

I've looked all around this site for information on where I went wrong with my LC, and determined that my failure was due to either the concentration of corn syrup, or poor GE. Either way, MS is the way to go for me for now. Once I have some cleaner living arrangements, I'm definitely going to pick up agar

You can do agar easily with out needed too much of a sterile environment, especially if you can make syringes. Do you have a SAB?

Yeah, I've got a SAB. But my understanding of agar is that you need to be a sterility nazi to make it work. I've read many threads on agar, and own RR's dvd's, and from what I've gathered it can be difficult at the best of times. What's your method?

Personally, I prefer to do no pour pasty plates over pouring the agar, mainly because plastic petri dishes are not re usable and because that way I know the plates are 100% sterile.
After you have plates, it's really just making sure your hands are clean and that the air is settled. Agar was very intimidating for me to start, but it's much easier than it looks.
Plus I don't have to hope for non contamed spore syringes anymore. Funny story actually, the reason I started doing agar was because, for some odd reason, I couldn't make a spore syringe correctly anymore. I wasted like 3 prints, said "fuck this" and just started agar. I don't regret that decision.

We all have are way, once again much respect, you make it work homie.
I just took post harvest pics. This is after i picked the 1000 gram load I really need to find more drying arrangements. THE PINS ARENT SLOWING DOWN
PLZ HELP!! How should i use the dehydrator i have to get the best results?

Just pop them in and turn it on for 12 hours. If they are "cooked" it's fine, trust me they are still active.

Alright I just don't like that crispness, doesn't feel right. You think its from leaving it in too long? And after how many hours should I check on them, I wanna do this before I crash I think I have about 600 more grams ready. and I sleep for 7 hours. It only has one setting sadly

You can put them overnight, or throughout the day. Dehydrators are the easiest and fastest way to get your shrooms cracker dry.

Well you want all the moisture to be dehydrated to prevent your fruits from rotting or molding. I leave them in there until they are cracker dry... Meaning I can't bend them at all, they'll just snap.

Lol! Ahhh, cultivation problems 
You've got a lot of fruits on your hands. One time, when one of my bins exploded, I had no more room to dry them. I tried my hand at making this...
http://www.shroomery.org/11113/Dionysian-Wine
Worked amazingly, but I'm not sure of your situation. Do you have any wine to spare?
Also, they are right about the temps. Don't worry, the actives don't start breaking down until something like 170C-ish. They'll still be potent as long as you make sure to stay below 160C 
Happy tripping!

I would but I don't drink alcohol, I would like to make some concentrates though like psilocybin crystals for capsules, I read on a website sometime ago that you can use mycelium to make concentrates as well.
I think I will also try stringing some on tomorrows flush after dehydrating tonight. Ill post all the differences in these drying methods let me know if you have any other drying ideas!

Most dehydrators stay around the 70C degree temp if I remember correctly.
I've noticed that the room with the dehydrator running seems to have a light mushroomy smell to it. It's not to annoying but it's noticeable if you walk in the room.

There's shroom honey! Another way someone on these forums preserves their mushies, is they'll make a giant batch of tea with fresh shrooms, and then freeze that. It was still just as potent a year later. I think he might have tried it 3 years later but not sure.
If you want I'll try and find his recipe.

I completely agree with Zephen. Every thread I've ever read said 135F and that's what I've been setting my dehydrator at and it take 7-8 hours and they are as dry as they'll ever get. Just dried some yesterday actually

I have always dried my cyans on my kitchen counter cap down in open air it takes four days but they keep their fiber like texture but do not mold it is great. I understand it is fast and maybe I will like the dehydrator once i can use it right for this process, id like to get a temp adjustable one
These have been in a jar since november

Wet of course I will post the dry weight when they are done. I am at 1300 wet, and I believe Ill get around another thousand in the next couple of days so approximately I'm guessing the end result will be 8 ounces


This is what is left to pick once I get home from school today

You do realize that it became unsterile as soon as it went into the monotub right?

Pretty damn good for a first grow. That's around what I got in my first mono (17.7oz dry) Great results! Can't wait to see how much you improve from this one

Not sure if it is just me but I actually tried drying some on cardboard too and some of them ended up slightly sticking to it. I ended up getting a dehydrator and the caps look very nice when done drying.

Yea it becomes unsterile as soon as it hits external air, but it is working!

That happens to me too, they always stick a little. I did some in my dehydrator and they turned out well. They just don't have the rubbery fiber like texture you get from air drying, but the dehydrator is nice for when i have someone who will need them asap. I see myself using it a lot now for the smaller fruits.

Yeah, no point. Plus, 100% colonized sub is very resistant to contams.

Essentialy yes its how i have been drying outdoor cultivation and it has always preserved them perfectly. As an experiment put some in a box with a fan on medium or low cap side down. leave them there for three days and look at the differences.

The more time you spend drying, the more actives are lost. Sure, it's usually not a significant amount, but if you're someone like me with a certain quality to maintain, every bit counts.
Oxydization is enemy number one to the actives, and the more time they spend being wet after getting picked, the more actives you lose (again, small amout usually).
I would invite you to experiment to get the fastest possible drying time, usually done with a dehydrator or open oven, if only for tripping's sake

Challenge excepted. The rest of my harvest will go into the dehydrator, and then the trip reports will happen

Never ceases to amaze me the amount of people that will claim dehydrators (100-150F) decrease potentcy, but yet will drop shrooms into boiling water (214F) without a single thought.

Don't take it the wrong way. I'm in favor of dehydrators. I use a Ronco with similar trays to yours with no temp control. I store shrooms in a shed that gets to 130F daily for 6 hours. No noticeable decrease in potency. Those who claim dehydrators are a blight on potency are laughable.
