So my first flush will need to be harvested a couple days earlier than I anticipated I can't get a dehydrator until Friday and I'm probably going to need to harvest by Wednesday. What should I do? It's only a half pint cake of APE

They'll be fine in the fridge for a few days.

So what's the takeaway here? Dry shrooms in a dehydrator for 24 hours? Or does it depend on the size of the mushroom?

Got one for free today! Do I break the mushrooms up before putting them in the dehydrator or put them in whole?

I do not know why but my shrooms were cracker dry after 8 hours in the dehydrator ( and mine is a cheap one).they broke up if you do not handle them gently

Hoping for some reassurance here...

I've been using a Nesco dehydrator to dry shrooms for a couple months. Typically drying all of each flush at once @ 165, 3 to 4 racks, until everything is cracker dry, which I assumed happened after 4 - 5 hours. But reading your 24 hr minimum dry time has me worried.

I'm in a dry northern climate. I've been storing them in large Rubbermaid containers in a cool basement bedroom. Of the earliest couple batches that I dried late September, I'm not seeing any bendy stems. Everything still seems cracker dry. But the centers of larger stems seem a bit "chalky", especially a batch of PE. They feel dry, and crack when bent, and still get me high....but are they dry enough for mid - long term storage?

I made some desiccant from magnesium sulfate yesterday, put some in large ziplocks, and put all the rubbermaids in there with the lids cracked. Is this a bonehead maneuver? Should I run all the shrooms that are questionable through another round in the dehydrator? Or just eat them all before they go bad :confused:

4-5hrs is not long enough ime especially with chunky PE.

I'd just eat em and dry the next batch thoroughly. You could redry but I've always eaten em before it became a issue.

Awesome. I have about 30oz "dried", so I'll sort out whatever is questionable and forget it in the dehydrator for the day. Thanks a lot

Sorry for bumping an old thread but been searching for a long time and there's so many different opinions out there, this forum comes up a lot though.

At the beginning most searches said 40c/104f but here says 71c/160f.
I'm just doing my first flush and they're fruiting at different times, the few so far feel dry but unsure about them. They're in an air tight mason jar with silica gel bags and been dried in a dehydrator for about 7 or 8 hours.
I have 2 questions...

1) When i first searched I wondered if oven drying would work, most searches said no as temp too high (my min oven temp is 50c/122f), it's a fan oven. Why would a fan oven cause potency loss if I'm at 50c/122f ? (i'm using a ninja foodi to dehydrate instead)

2) Is it possible to over dry (within reason i.e. ending up as dust whilst checking often)? With no scientific knowledge I think not as I'm guessing psilocybin doesn't break down at that temp. The reason I ask is I'm thinking about putting the fruits I thought I dried back in to the dehydrator.

I also saw some anecdotes saying you need to be a bit more careful with the ninja foodi but no idea why.

The quick question thread is where this would have fit best but since we are here:

1) 160f is best and your oven works fine if it has a fan and can be that low. Since convection ovens tend to be hotter maybe aim for 145f to be safe. The real issue is how much electricity your oven uses as compared to a dehydrator.

2) Overdrying should not be a concern if you stop at a reasonable time.
