Glad you had your stated result ...so you say.. But.... 12hrs?? Come on..

Yea 12 hours is not enough but like I said I put them in a desiccant chamber for much longer. I figure the less time exposed to air the better.

Less time exposure while wet. So use the food dehydrator to get to 100% dry

So are you saying the actives will only degrade while wet? because I was under the impression that it was exposure to air that caused this.

No, oxidation kills actives. It happens as an aqueous reaction and it's electron transfer not exposure to O2 so much

So what confuses me is that the shrooms are wet the entire time they are growing but when you pick them they magically start degrading. Is the oxidation also happening during growth but is offset by the fact that the shrooms are still producing actives while they are connected to the network?

once you pick them they are shut off from the myc network. it no longer receives nutes and dies basically.. im guessing.

Whatever works for you! But a decent dehydrator is $30 at Wal-Mart, not a bad investment for any grower. And heat does not affect potency, at least not from a dehydrator. Not dry enough is worse than too dry. But if it's cracker dry then
