Well I don't think I'll be using a convectional oven ever again to dry out mushrooms lol. It took forever and they ended up shrinking down to the size of a toothpick and turning all blue out of the 100 grams of wet I ended up with 8. Grams of dry. Not too bad I suppose the way to go would be a dehydrator I'll be picking one up for these guys

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Mushrooms are about 90% water. So after drying them its estimated that you'll only get a tenth of your wet weight.

Yes you're right. for every 10 wet grams you should expect to get 1 dry gram

Yep they just don't look like your average dried mushrooms is all I'm saying never seen anything like the way the stems. Looking so dark and whatnot even with the heat down low. I may make tea out of them but ref wouldn't be consuming them lol

I don't notice any difference esthetically between an oven and a dehydrator, and if shrooms are for some reason unconsumable (like mold growing on them or w/e) making tea vs eating them will definitely not make any difference.

A dehydrator is still a good appliance to own. But if you happen to have a small heater and a small fan you can do without one and get the same result, if you dislike using an oven that is. ( I only dont like ovens because of their size. Since a dehydrator is smaller it is obviously faster and uses less energy than an oven)

Yes Well they aren't contaminated, I just believe they may have been over cooked or for too long, They are fairly blue and thin stemmed, Haven't had the time or the balls to actually try them out yet I'm looking forward to this other flush i have going right now, Probably around 50 grams picked sitting in an open jar in front of a fan right now. my buddy told me that fan drying shouldn't hurt potency, Everyone I've talked to seems to have a lot of different opinions on the subject of drying them considering its illegal to do so in most places. Ill probably stick to maybe making some chili with them



Since these have been takin I've moved separated these cakes into different chambers and picked all the veils that broke, leaving a bunch of pins to finish if they ever will.

Ive also started the fruiting of my Monotube within the last 24 hours and Have seen no signs of anything but a dry ring around where i have the polyfil stuffed. Im still hoping theirs enough spawn to actually produce something in all that substrate. Heres hoping, Happy holidays!
