Longest time you've left on the dehydrator?

I know, I know. I'm sure you guys are going to bash me for this. I have searched along similar lines on this question. Some have said they left their shrooms on the dehydrator for 10-14 days, others say 12 hours, etc. All reported good potency still. Well, my life get's EXTREMELY busy sometimes. Some have of my flushes have been on for 12-18 hours, some like 3-4 days, and some like 15-18 days lol. They all still have a great appearance, obviously didn't cook them, and I'm sure my dehydrator doesn't go over like 170 degrees. I haven't tested these yet, and I'm giving some away. I have no reason to personally believe there has been potency loss aside from multiple variations of information on the subject. Some say yes, some say no, some say heat, some say none, etc.
What do you guys think. Do these mushrooms contain some sort of potency still? All the batches are mixed together so I can tell which is which.

Extreme run in the dehydrator should have no effect on potency.
I do whatever cheap ass Presto does.. around 160 F.. for 6-8 hours or more if I slept.

I understand to get them cracker dry. What I'm saying is, I have left some of my flushes in the dehydrator for MULTIPLE days at a time. I see some people say it wouldn't make a difference, others say just go until cracker dry and try not to use heat. Well, we all know that it is perfectly fine to use a dehydrator that uses heat, but if you had to put an amount of time on it...at what point would you say you're severely starting to fuck your shrooms up? 1 day? 3, a week, 2 weeks, etc.?

I've left them on my dehydrator for 3 days before. Not on purpose but just because I was really busy with a bunch of other shit. They were fine.
You going on vacation for a couple weeks right after you harvest? Not sure why you would care about the results of weeks worth of dehydrating unless you're disappearing for awhile.

Leaving an electric heater on for a week seems like a house fire risk and electricity hog.
If you are on a time crunch, cut the big mushrooms into smaller bits and heat it for 4-6 hours. If it is not cracker dry after that store them with a desiccant.

If it's not cracker dry after that then keep dehydrating them till they are. Storing with a desiccant won't do shit

There isn't any evidence psilocin potency degrades in heat, all i've heard is speculation. You should be fine though.
Only way to find out is to eat em.

Ive left then on a bottom rack while drying more on top racks for 50 days last summer. Didnt effect them. As some above pointed out we get busy with crap that has to get done.

There was a point in the summer where the humidity was so high that I could have left them on for 2 days and they wouldn't be cracker dry. Also my presto started dying at the same time, so that didn't help.
Otherwise Ive never needed more than 12 hours on a normal day. 15 for bigger shrooms

I have left some on for 3 or 4 days, the coil in the dehydrator was a replacement and got too hot if I didn't cycle it. I definitely cooked them a little bit but they were still good for the most part.
Quick trip report from them, don't read if you don't want to!
Took them mixed with some good ones in some tea (about half and half), 3.5 - 3.8 each and one person half that. There were 4 of us, and I'd say they were still pretty damn potent. I was in my normal trippy happy head space (being the most experienced), my girlfriend (had smoked dmt once and taken shrooms while drunk once ) was all giddy and happy in shroom land didn't notice any different than 3.5 would normally would, friend was also in happy giddy land, he was the only one with major physical stuff, he was "leaking" . His girlfriend had sorta a rough trip, ego loss and whatnot, I sat with her through it and talked with her and brought her back up. I feel like those 2.25 trips can be rough, I always get sad on that amount. edit* Friend's girlfriend is who took 2.25

Okay cool. And no, I didn't leave them going for a long time in an empty house. I just put them on one day and either kept forgetting about them, or would remember them but be busy, or realize their on there but just didn't wanna deal with them at the moment lol
