 crank that shit up! dry for at least 12hr. unless they are small, i always dry 24hr. anything over 25-30g wet needs 18hrs minimum.
anyone who says anything otherwise about drying is incorrect/wrong, or full of shit, or just dumb.

Thanks guys, set them on max-temp now for 18 hours, the shrooms were drying for 3 days with a fan, they are nearly cracker-dry, think 18h are more then enough.

yah at that point 12hr is plenty. make sure you use your new dehydrator right away after picking.
laying around under a fan for 3days might affect potency. using a dehydrator right away keeps the potency harvest fresh.

I'll do it like this next time, was just because harvest-time was a bit more early and the arrival was planned for next monday, so I needed to flick.
Hope its not thaaaat bad for the potency.

How so?
the longer a wet mushroom sits out the faster actives degrade. the quicker you dry the fewer actives are lost.
its simple. its been explained a billion times over and over again.

I dry for 8-12 hours. Cracker dry is cracker dry

depending on wet weight id dry longer then 12. cracker dry now and in a bag a few months from now dry is different. 24hr cracker dry stays dry. 12hr ones can get stale and soggy after a month or so in a bag. i even made a really dump post about it.

If you put them in a bag, they will take on moisture from the air. The only way I've found to keep them crisp is to go directly from dehydrator to mason jars.
I also leave mason jars out to warm up when I take them out of the freezer. If you open them while still cold, the moisture in the air will freeze to the inside and trap moisture in there.

how many of us are putting shrooms in mason jars? id need one the size of a fridge. most of mine go in gallon zip locks and then i loose them.
SO to ensure shelf life outside the production zone!! dry 18-24hrs.

Uh, everyone I know uses mason jars? I'm not trying to pick a fight here, just sharing the best way to keep them crisp and potent. I confess to having 2/3 of the freezer full of half gallon mason jars of azzies, cyans, and ovoids once upon a time. It happens, but they never sit around for long.
Do you ever have moisture issues using the bags? Do you just leave the bags in a cupboard or do they go in the freezer?

I just throw em in large tupperware containers from the dollar store. They stay crispy dry in there for months and it's not even close to as air tight as a ziplock

I use ziplocks long term storage does not seem to be a problem because they shouldn't last that long anyway

I guess I should mention I live in the PNW and the water just hangs in the air here 
The extra precautions I take might not be necessary where y'all are at.
