How much decassent to use?
    #22103210 - 08/17/15 03:28 PM (8 years, 5 months ago)

Hi all,

I have purchased 50 small decassent sachets.  I have my dried mushrooms sealed in a jar with 2 sachets.  Is that enough?  Too much?

Many thanks!!

J

Cheers for the heads up!  Ummm, not heard of that before but found it online.  I'm a bit confused because it seems to have an exposed top.  Should I be looking at storing them in a large tupperware container instead of jar?  Looks like it would easily spill and also, surely I don't want the mushrooms touching the exposed powder?

Many thanks...

If the mushrooms are cracker dry then its okay to keep them sealed in that jar for a while.

If they are not cracker dry then Damprid or a similar product is required inside a desiccant chamber (tupperware Container).. or better yet get a dehydrator if your growing them yourself its worth the investment.

desiccant packets are crap and Imo can do more harm than good when drying shrooms.
Its Very difficult to get the shrooms cracker dry without a strong desiccant like damprind or a dehydrator.

I used desiccant packets just fine with my last grow; just try and have them not touch the shrooms them self, that's where damage can happen. I got an airtight chamber and then a little screen with some legs on it that I put the shrooms on so that the packets were underneath them but not touching them. You still have to fan dry first though

Let me add, those packets should Only be used for "perfection purposes". They should be cracker dry after the fan, those should just be to finish off any tiny bits of moisture still there. They can't do the bulk of the work

He's asking about already dried shrooms. Which yes a regular desiccant will work in maintaining cracker dry while inside of an air tight storage (which is what he's doing). So you're fine OP :thumbup:

@blew you don't want them directly touching shrooms that aren't dry, but cracker dry will be fine. Look at a bag of beef jerky. That's directly touching the desiccant package.

You know, those packets say "Desiccant" right on them.

I do like decassent better though.  Reminds me of Decadent.  Like a sea of chocolate milk.

Hi all,

Thank you so much for all of your input!  My apologies, I should have mentioned that they are indeed cracked dry.  Will stick with what I'm using and apply the screen so the packets are not touching the shrooms.

Thanks again.  You guys are awesome :smile:
