Drying mushrooms, HELP ME FAST

I'm looking to pick up a huge load of cubes soon and I need to get them cracker dry. Is it possible to do this in under 12 hours without a food dehydrator? Because I'm looking to store them before anyone in the house notices. Oven maybe? I really need some help fast! I know ovens can lose potency, but I've seen it both ways?!??! Help me please!!

No, it's barely even possible in that timeframe with a dehydrator. Not going to help you do shit that you're doing behind the backs of people you live with.

my dehydrator takes at least 24 hrs maybe 18 if the shrooms are spread very thin inside but if i pack it super full it takes a few days sometimes whats the rush on drying them when it took you well over a month to grow them?

i am pretty sure damprid in a sealed container would do what you are trying to accomplish. just keep the mushrooms elevated above the damprid

I didn't grow them, my cousins own a farm with TONS of them. And right now it's the perfect time. The problem is I need them to dry like super quick and I don't know how. I might do the oven method.

i only use damprid for storage (works great) but in the event you do try and use it for drying the shrooms still need to be fan dryed for at least 24 hours to dry them almost cracker then put in the sealed container of damprid to finish them off. heres a pic of my desiccant chamber there is a damprid refil pack at the bottom $3.99@ H.D

a cooler with a couple home made shelves(for the mushrooms) along with damprid has proved to turn mushrooms cracker dry. from what i have seen anyways. can not go wrong with a dehydrator of course.

If you try to use damprip for the mushrooms without fanning first the damprid will get used up very quickly. If you bought a really large amount of it, depending on how much you are trying to dry, and put it in a chamber it would probably dry it pretty fast but it's not an efficient way to use it. Won't be as noisy as a fan though if you need to keep it quite.
Also make sure you really know how to id them and get a verification from a trusted cultivator on here if they are wild and your cousin didn't grow them. Blackish/dark purple spores and blue bruising are a good sign of psyilocybe.
Not familiar with the speed of oven drying or potential potency loss if done correctly but using the search function for oven drying may help you.

i guess this kid could try it it would be extremely discreet so maybe this would be a good compromise to the OP's original time constraints enlightened seed how long does it take if using nothing but damprid to dry your fungus???

I've had success drying some mushrooms on a sheet of paper inside of a dresser drawer with a fan left on in the room. I would take them out of the drawer when I get home from work and place them back in the dresser when I left the next morning.

Back when I first started growing I only used moisture absorber to dry my shrooms. Wasn't name brand damprid but it worked great used the one from the dollar store. Put the entire container and all inside of a plastic tub that came full of peppermints. Then would slap some mushrooms in there and leave them till I was ready to eat them. My shrooms always smelled and tasted minty. Which I liked. Only had small amounts then so it worked for me.
