They are still fine, but get them into a dehydrator asap.
Alternatively, take a fan and your oven. Put oven on something like 50-100 or whatever is low-medium heat, keep the oven door open and fan blowing in.
That's pretty much one huge dehydrator.

Ok I ate them with no health issues (thank god). I ate 3 shrooms of about 6 cm which I think are enough for a decent trip (unfortunately I didn't have a scale to weigh them) I had signs of trip but not a great time.could potency have been affected or It was a dose issue?

Were they fresh or did you dehydrate them with a dehydrator

probably just didnt eat enough, honestly. unless they were super fat, dense mushrooms, three 6cm mushrooms sounds like a micro dose.
EDIT - oh, right, you fan dried these.. i guess they couldve lost potency, then, yeah.

Check RR'S videos for pf tek or move directly to bull growing. You ll need to buy a scale. Good luck.

Thanks for the answers. The mushrooms i took we're only fann dried for about 2 hours so i assume it was a low dosage. Anyway now i got a dehydrator so problems solved. Now regarding the dehydrator it is this model:https://www.bomann.de/products/en/Small-electrical-appliances/Fun-Cooking/DR-448-CB-Drier.html
It has 2 temperature settings but i cant really figure in what degrees is working. Do you thinks this may destroy psilocybin due to high temperature?
Also the supplier refunded us with a new kit due to contamination on the first one and now i have 2 kits going on. I built a SGFC and putted the healthy kit inside. Now my question is it safe to put the contaminated cake inside the same SGFC or may the contamination jump from kit to kit? Only responsible responds guys as i am not willing to destroy the healthy kit!
I have already plans on working with pf tek but first i want to gather some experience with the kits that i have already bought

I don't think most dehydrators can go hot enough to destroy the actives

throw anything contaminated away....
and use the dehydrator on its high setting. most go to about 165F, which is perfect.

But contaminated cake is keep fruiting inside this pos bag. Why throw it away, as you said in another post i have made every fruit is edible from contaminated substrates unless it has visible molds on it
EDIT: It was another member of the forum who said this actually and not you!

so it doesnt have a chance to ruin your other projects. why keep something molded and contam'd when you have something that will produce much more, if it isnt contam'd.. although, it being a kit, it might be/get just as fucked.
but if it were me, i wouldnt keep any contaminated shit in my house.. outside at the very least. but i would just toss it/bury it.

Ok folks, in need of the experts once again! I got a second kit as a refund for the first being contaminated BUT guess what, white mold appears in this one too. Am i right? Is this contaminated also? Definitely not shopping from non sponsors of the site. The funny shit is that they tried to convince me that it is supposed to look like this :S

Not only are kits unreliable but they are not in the spirit of this hobby. Pastywhyte is very knowledgeable about this stuff and I know if you take the time to learn a tek then you will have a much better experience/yield. PF tek is a great place to start, if done right contamination should be kept to a min. That last pic looks real gross man and it may grow a few fruits but is that worth food poisoning or filling your house with mold spores and other nasty stuff. Good Luck

yup, that's just what they do, man. take Pasty's advice, and DIY. stop buying kits all together. not just top buying kits and premade stuff from the vendor you got that from, but dont bother with kits/premade from ANY vendor, even the shroomery sponsors.
it really isnt hard to DIY, and it costs much less money to do. with ridiculously better results.

Guys i got into this hobby as a newbie, bought a kit and then i discovered shroomery.By the time i found the forum and all the info for teks etc i have already paid for it. So i got the first one and tried my luck and then the vendor sent a new one so i thought why not. I have already made an SGFC and i have a spore syringe of Albino waiting to be used in pf tek but when i return from holiday at the end of August. I have learned the hard way that kits suck but i am very excited to learn about all the teks and i am looking forward to try them. Thanks for the advice and the time you spend for helping newbies like me. Last question, i have my SGFC in another place than my house for a while, can i keep this shitty kit inside it and then replace perlite and clean it with rubbing alcohol and use it for pf tek in my house or may contams still be present? I think i didnt contaminate the cake but it was already from the vendor. Does this play any role?

yeah it was probably fucked before you got it. and we all had to start somewhere.. i bought premade jars from a vendor before i found the shroomery, but have been doing much better since i started DIY and agar.
and sure, you could keep it inside the SGF,C, but if it were me, i would just toss it or bury it.

Hello again! Dosage question this time. I am planning to go a one day trip in a mountain nearby and take some shrooms, i have a scale now, what do you think is a good dosage for me (i have a bit of experience with shrooms and LSD but not a lot) and for a first timer? I was thinking 2-3 grams of dried for me and 1-1,5 for a first timer. Any suggestions?

just remember to take what you think you will want for the whole trip.. redosing doesnt really work after about an hour.
