You're gonna wanna harvest those sooner than later. If you leave them too long they will look like this
 8 hours won't look that bad ^ but will definitely yield a spore dump from some of the bigger ones But good work on those regardless

thanks,I saw a lot of people trying to get that maximum potency stuff and I saw a lot of people harvesting when it start to drop some spores,most of the cubies will be a little bigger and aproximately ready cause there are a lot of potential ones that are still small...I think they will come out just fine when I take them down...
Now...I was wondering what is a good and cheap way to dry them out without losing to much potency,will a box with some newspaper below the mushies and a fan blowing at them do the trick?
I dont have a dehydrator or any of that type of equipment I will have to dry them out in a natural way,I can help with some warmth and a fan blowing at them and that kind of stuff,I dont have silica gel or any type of stuff like that...I cant put them in an oven it will have to be something simple

I got a dehydrator for £20 off eBay best guaranteed method and quickest alternatively if you have a fan assisted oven wack em in there with the door open slightly? The natural method of drying or slow methods cause oxidation and could reduce potency
Edit just seen you can't use oven

I am already thinking about making a cardboard box and putting a little fan operated heater that doesnt blast off too much temperature and acoompany that with a fan to give it as much air as possible,it should work as a dehydrator,I googled how does a dehydrator works so I got bassicaly all of that elements...I will try that,I doent have a oven so that is not possible I will have to make it by hand,a little heater and a fan and we will see how it goes,they should be dry very fast with that method

It will still take much longer than with a proper food dehydrator, most likely. Just bite the bullet and buy one for about $30.. You won't regret it. But if any of your fruits rot or don't get completely cracker snap dry and then rot, you will assuredly regret not buying one.
But if you can make it work, then more power to you. But if you plan to continue with this hobby, then you are gonna want one anyways, so why not just get it now, and dry the ones you have now properly.
Anyways, good job on the grow, and congratulations

they definitely WONT get cracker dry that way(by cracker dry, i mean that by splitting the stem you literally powder it). but they will dry out enough. ive been forced to use similar methods in the past, so i know it can work.
good luck.
p.s. i definitely agree with everyone saying to get a cheap dehydrator. its way worth the investment if you have even just enough to get one.. when i was forced to dry my mushrooms using fan and screen, its because i was at a cabin out in the woods.. and all the mushies were eaten within days anyway.

if they arent 100% cracker dry, they simply are not "dry enough". any little bit of moisture WILL cause problems during storing.

they just started to get some bruising on the caps now they look like zebras I will take them down in a hour or two maximum,I will try to find a dehydrator to buy here somewhere but I dont think I will find one and I almost ran out of my budget...but boy you should see them now i will take some beautifull pictures when I take them down maybe even make a video in the process,immediately I will take a few caps off and make prints,and idk that s about all I need
when I am finished with taking of prints I was planing to take those caps and put them in the rest of the mushrooms to dry out,I dont care if they loose some potency it will only be a few caps so it s not a big deal,and I dont worry about storaging them they will be eaten by my friends probably immediately hahaha

yes that is perfect. 70c is what, about 160ishF? That's perfect. It doesn't harm them until it's at like 300f or something.

and one more question I saw that people take prints on blank paper,I have that paper for printing photos with glossy surface,I was thinkink about taking prints on that paper it is easier for me to stack mushrooms in a sterile box and take the prints on that paper than to mess with tin foil.btw i dont like thin foil so will paper for printing photos be ok once i sterilize the glossy surface and everything?it is thick enough and I wil store that paper in tin foil just dont want prints on tin foil cause it tends to tear up when you scrape of spores??? Sorry for so much questions

The mushrooms ain't sterile so you won't need to sterilize paper if its new I'd probably give it a wipe down just to be safe

And I had tried using methods that weren't a dehydrator, even when I could swear they were dry, after using a dehydrator I realized I would never be able to get them that dry

maybe the truest shit you ever said. without heat, they never get really dry.
