Potency loss
    #22356091 - 10/09/15 07:46 PM (8 years, 3 months ago)

So I fan dried in a desiccant box some cyans and ate them yesterday. Apparently they have suffered a huge amount of potency loss.. is drying wood lovers a different process?

Same process..you just didn't dry them properly. They weren't completely cracker dry when you stored them, which is what led to the potency loss. Any residual moisture left over in the mushroom will quickly degrade the active chemicals, that is why it is highly advisable to get them dry as quickly as possible.

Invest in a cheap food dehydrator, and put your mushies in there at the highest setting right after picking. They'll be done in 12 hours or less with no potency loss and can be stored with a desiccant packet in a mason jar or bag. :super:

i noticed a potency loss  with my cyans, but they are from deec 2014 and i left them in a hot car for 4 weeks.

I have definitely noticed a potency loss.

But in the beginning of the year, very potent. I dried them out slowly using a 60watt lamp pointed down at them. Cracker dry and great potency at 1 gram dry.

The actives don't degrade at temps until like 350F or more. Look it up. The faster you get them cracker dry, the less chance at potency loss. Food dehydrators are the best option. :thumbup:

How long were you drying them for?

I typically dry my mushrooms over a period of 2 days with a fan on them. There is kind of a lot of wiggle room with the term “cracker dry”. My mushrooms are most certainly not like crackers...they have some bend to them. I have never really had any problems....but then again, what would I know about potency loss if I have never done it the right way? I think I might go buy a food dehydrator tomorrow and see what’s up.

Have you tried them yet?

If there is still wiggle room or bend to your mushies, then they still have moisture which will most definitely cause potency loss. Not to mention, they may start to rot from the inside out.

When you apply pressure to the mushie, it should snap like a twig. Test it at the cap and at the stem.

Why would moisture cause potency loss?

Moisture, light, and exposure to air will all serve to degrade the active chemicals over time. The faster you dry them completely and store them in a cool, dark place, the better!! :thumbup:
