Cost to run the oven being the biggest factor between a dehydrator and the oven.

Beebaw, make sure to go a full 24 hours at 160f.

Thanks to everyone who replied (and sorry to the other person, never realised this was better in the quick answers section as just found this thread after much googling). I think because they're smaller they're drying out quicker, maybe they're closer to the heating element as it's a ninja foodi but they seem cracker dry after 6 hours.
From the replies, it seems I can't overdry and waste them yeh?
I'm still confused why this forum's consensus seems to be much warmer than the EU sites I read (104f vs 160f)

The amount of times people have posted here that their mushrooms "are definitely cracker dry after 8 hours" etc. and then come back after some time with issues with said shrooms.
I highly recommend sticking to the 24 hour guideline.

I'm ok with doing that mate, just trying to make sure I don't ruin them if I stick them back in to dry more. I've got silica gel bags in with them in a mason jar so hopefully won't spoil before i dry more
edit: just tried to bend one after 6 hours drying and snapped straight away with slight pressure. i'm probably wrong but i think the ninja is drying them out faster, or too hot. Will test at the weekend to see

Suggestion: Instead of pictures, upload audio files. Trust me, people WILL be able to tell if it's been dried right.

Reading this thread made me question some big bags I recently vac sealed. Opened one up and sure as shit the big fellas had a little bend in them. They were snappy coming out of the dehydrator 
Back in the dehydrator they go.
Thanks for the reminder

I don't have a dehydrator but just dry the harvest in front of a radiator for a few days and then put it in a jar with silica gel pouches and a small hygrometer which shows about 10 to 15 % humidity inside of the jar. Does anyone here has a comparison of what humidity you can reach in a jar after using a dehydrator? Is there any difference?

Anything more than 0 means your mushrooms are going to absorb moisture from the air and lose potency and/or mold.
With silica it should get to zero!
My monitor is too big to fit in a jar so I cant actually confirm that I'm not making it up. Just applying logic instead of experience here.

Wouldnβt recommend trying to gauge moisture content in fruits that way, or storing anything less than cracker dry. They should snap before they flex at all.
I dehydrated a batch on high for well over 12 hrs recently and they appeared good and got vac sealed, but still got a slight bend back in them when I thought to go check.
The pin style moisture meters you stab into wood might be interesting to test individual fruits. Maybe if I can find mine Iβll post readings at couple hour intervals during dehydrating next time. It would be interesting to see the reading on a big fruit when I figure itβs fully done, and at 24 hrs

Nooope.
Zero or bust.

Just glad that this thread is still here and doing great work. Deserves a slight bump I think.
