Echo we have your best interests in mind. Desiccant is for keeping things dry not drying out fungal flesh. Wouldn't it be a shame if after all your hard work your little babes get infected due to improper drying? You would have to throw them out or at worst you could get food poisoning.  :argh:


We don't want that for you buddy, so I'm glad your dehydrator is on the way.

Yeah man turn the oven on 300. I personally get a foil sheet pretty large, then poke grid holes in it with a skewer like I'm making a SGFC. Small fan pointing in the oven. Flip your shrOoms after half an hour, let cook for another half hour. Pull your tray out. Take out the smaller fully dried fruits. Then you'll have some large ones that may need longer 

I've noticed oven drying doesn't get large stems dry without toasting the caps pretty good. So I typically cut the large shrooms in half  With a knife.

I put the shrooms on cardboard, place the cardboard on the top rack right on the edge, pull the rack out slightly (like 4 inches or so), set oven to 170, leave the door cracked slightly (resting on the rack that I pulled out), and point a fan towards the cracked oven. Idk how I feel about 300 degrees.

When my shrooms are dry (or so I think) I place in a bowl of epsom salt that I baked into desiccant and dry all the way.

If I remember correctly, shrooms don't lose potency until higher than I think 500 degrees?

Don't quote me. But high heat to dry the shrooms isn't a problem.

azur tried baking shroom brownies and the 350 degree oven killed the potency. OTOH I think cron put some cubes through a PC cycle and they remained potent. People make shroom tea with boiling water all the time too, so personally if I were gonna oven dry I wouldn't exceed 250 degrees.

Pretty sure somebody else did make a mushroom brownie, Lt Berkenstine or whatever.  He said it was gross but it worked.

So can someone with the know how chime in on how high you can heat cubensis mushrooms?

I dried about two ounces 4 days ago with the oven door cracked and a fan blowing in...


Guess there is only one way to test the potency.

Report back after work

What are you talking about specifically?  In a dehydrator, you just turn it up all the way.  Past the 300F mark you need to be careful.  Better to just not cook with it really, it's not that good.  Frying in oil seems to be fine but I imagine the oil keeps some shit from oxidizing.

Just assume dry heat over 300F will fuck shit up.    Coupled with the fact there's basically no reason to do that, that should land everybody in the clear.

Boiling water and below is free for all though.

I recently dried my shrooms at 350 with door cracked. Just ate 1.5 to see if they still work... I thought I read get them dry as quick as you can (so I do 350) also, makes my small home hot as hell running the oven, doubled with trying to block little man from running in the kitchen.

Damn I hope these aren't bunk

Uh... yeah don't do that.  When I used the oven to dry before I got a dehydrator I'd set it to like 175 and open the door all the way and point a fan inside.  350F with a cracked door is asking for it..

Great time to get worried.  Worried and mushrooms is like pie and whipped cream.
