Best dehydrator temps
    #23645919 - 09/14/16 09:45 PM (7 years, 4 months ago)

Been looking trough old treads, but there seems to be mixed opinions about how to dry shrooms in a dehydrator. Some people say that it's important to dry on the lowest setting to preserve the potency, but others say it's better to dry them faster to reduce oxidation. What's the current consensus?

Current consensus is crank that shit up.
You'd be hard pressed to find a dehydrator that gets hot enough to destroy the active compounds (doesn't exist).

Concerns about losing potency to heat are completely unfounded.

That will probably do it. It depends on the model of dehydrator, humidity, wetness of the shrooms, etc.

What you're after is called "cracker dry".
The mushrooms should crumble easily when they're ready.

I used to be concerned about this too. I have a REALLY old dehydrator that gets hot as ****.  :onfire:  I was told by others here not to worry about the temp, and they were right. :thumbup: I have not been able to distinguish any loss in potency using it.  Hope you enjoy your mushies OP!

I would run it for 8 just in case running it a bit longer won't hurt it

I run for 24 hours minimum cranked all the way up. Often times when heat is involved they'll look dry, and feel dry, but they aren't. Doing extra time won't affect potency, and they'll keep MUCH longer.

I'm glad I read this post. I had some mushies sitting in a bag which I just took out of the dehydrator a few days ago.

Saw this post and figured I would check to see if they were actually cracker dry.

Turns out they're not..

I put them right back in the dehydrator on 160F

I thought that the high heat would affect potency, but I'm clearly wrong! :smile:
