Just plucked my last flush, i oven dried them, and noticed after it was in a mason jar in the fridge, that there was dark black patches on tops and underneath the caps that attaches to the stem in specific, it seems i have dried them as the stems are craker dry, maybe there 75% dry and 25% still wet? I have a heydradtor its just very strong and it reaches well over 180f Do you think there consumable?

Those look completely normal for something that is pigmented and has dried and shrunken significantly.

You have a dehydrator but you used an oven?

So....you think your dehydrator is too strong, but your oven isn't?

How the hell did I miss that.. jesus... Yeah I thought you used the dehydrator. They could very well be burned for all I know, having been in the oven.

Sounds good! Ill be using it next harvest!i just never really gave it a chance, Thanks for the tip. Well at the lowest temp way before the 200f mark on my oven i can keep it steady at 165f for as long as i need to as with my dehydrator it reaches over 180f easy after roughly 30 to 45 miniutes, i figure at a lower setting its less sesceptible to loss in potency through higeher temps,altough i read it may be better hotter so it drys quicker, im found of finding out things for myshelf rather than word of mouth. But i will use the dehydrator next time fur sure.

Hmm really? I see i just tought it could of been from not drying them as fast as i could even tough i just harvested. This mornin... it feels damper on those black tops then burnt, as i feel it Could of been a transfer in temps to fast as i put them straight in the fridge after in a masson jar and perhaps the shroom was oxididating from not being 100% dry,and was forced to expell the extra co2 im just guessing if plausable at all...it did feel squishy where that black appeared again it only appeared under the cap and on top of some caps, perhaps some of the harder places to dry due to the angle??
