They will all get the fruits dry in the exact same amount of time.....they do the exact same thing....one costs 30, the other 10x as much.....I have been thru 1 $30 nesco in 4 years.....I still have 4 that work great......I can dry 2x as much as you can and I still spent less than half.....most likely for the next 4 years.

I got 14 tubs of GT colonizing(or Z, didn't really label/pay attention....i know but eh.....) , I have about 80 or so jars full of sterilized grains ready for some agar PE wedges, and possibly APE, that is if they ever germinate....lol. Another 140 jars ready to be packed with grains that are soaking,
I'm not really into doing too many different varieties at once.

Ready? It's super easy. Y dehydrator broke recently and I went back to desiccant.
Fan dry for 24-72 hours, just place on a rack so air is pulled away from the shrooms. If it blows over the shrooms they get linty... 
Take a sock and a qt jar lid. Put damprid in the toes of the sock and then put the lid inside as well. Place the ring so it is holding the damprid incthe toes with the lid centered pretty close above it. Then place ring around the outside of the sock, so you sock toes are going to be inside that jar with the damprid and the ankle of the sock will be floating on top of the lid.
After the specified period of time under fan conditions you will place into the jar.
After another day or 2 they are crcker dry.
If you are Drying alot of mushros this way you will need to change the sock and damprid
You can save the damprid, and dry the sock to be sustainable, which is always a bonus. Just do your research.
Have a good one.

megatacular said: I've been on a mad search for the perfect during chambe. I'll be using damprid for the agent. I'm well aware that the chamber needs at least two racks 1 for the desiccant to sit off the bottom to drip water. 2 or more racks above desiccant for the mushies to sit on
My big question is does the chamber need to be completely sealed (air tight) or does it need air exchange or flow? Thanks in advance for any input. Pics would also be awesome if you guys have any.
fan dry for a few days than take a plastic tub and fill in the damprid cover the damprid with 5 layers of paper towls take some chicken wire and cut so that the wire will fit in the tub as a rack the shrooms should be dry within 2 days You can dry pounds of shrooms at a time this way
