Drying shrooms on a heat mat?

I have a reptile heat mat lying around? I know there are other better methods but will this work? was thinking of just putting some on a paper towel on top of the heat mat.
Thanks,
E

I've done it when my dehydrator gave up - it works. No potency loss and cracker dry.

You know those small 4 inch deskfans you can get at walmart for 10 bucks? Point it at a plateful overnight. Maybe 36 hours. After that, they'll be ready for the desiccant chamber.

He means that it's highly likely that it's not going to work. . .

May work; but seems silly when there are so many simple working methods. I put mine in a colander over a box fan for about 24-36 hours then into desecant chamber on a paper plate with some calciumchloride. you can find a decent sized bag of calcium chloride for about $3.00 at home depot. this simple method uses 0 heat and keeps your fruits cracker dry for as long as you want to store them.

Using 0 heat is a good way to degrade potency. Dehydrators are hot enough to deactivate enzymes that begin degradation but not hot enough to do anything to potency except protect it.

Using just heat and no moving air is another great way to degrade potency though too. So, really, this thread is just full of fail ideas.

Im so confused.
I get it dehydrators and stuff are perfect, I get it... But my question was "WILL IT WORK?" I dont care what is the better option.
Half the people say heat degrades and half dont. I mean is 40 degrees C really gunna fuck my shrooms up ffs? People take shrooms in countries hotter than that...

If half the people are in disagreement with each other your best bet is to start checking up on them. If someone says heat is good and has 50 positive ratings that are cultivation related and most of their posts are in the cultivation boards, it's probably a good bet they know what they are talking about.
I personally would not risk my hard labour with any method other than heat and moving air. Will a reptile heat mat get the fruits dry? Perhaps if you live in a dry climate and don't give a fuck about losing potency cause it took 3 days to get em dry. Is it something I would fuck around with? Hell no.
