Thanks! I didn't do a good job on my liner but that won't happen again lol. I'm trying to read as much as possible before I do anything, this forum is the MVP of my team for sure.

I stopped using liners because I suck at cutting them.

How are you going to dry them?

Looking at dehydrators. This is what I'm leaning towards but I'm open to suggestions. I'm of the persuasion that it's better to do something right the first time than take shortcuts and fail. I'd spend more if necessary, don't want to decide I need a better one in a month and have one live in a closet forever.

:manofapproval:

You can get a basic one for 30-40. 60plus is too much.
Check my link for drying. Mine was $6 at goodwill

That's awesome, I also pop tags at the thrift store! I honestly planned on hitting red racks, goodwill and some others tomorrow to see if I could find one. I went last week and picked up a brand new (older model) foodsaver for $20 and a little humidifier for $4 but no dehydrators.

I've heard you try to dry as fast as possible, do you just run them in that MagicChef and check them every so often? I just started learning about harvesting and drying. I didn't want to look ahead to those parts and get punished for my hubris.

helmerboing... i like they way you think.

i made a thread about drying...
https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/23782274#23782274

i do MOST of my mushies for 24hrs. larger fruits on the bottom racks and
smaller up top. the racks can be removed as needed. no point drying a 1 inch
shroom for a day.

I wanted to update this thread since it's been a few weeks.

I messed up when harvesting and left some broken flesh exposed in a corner of the tub. It took a while but that corner is greener than Miss Piggy's mouth at this point. The tub produced several ozs of bone dry sunshine so I don't feel too bad about chucking it at this point. ROI was more than I expected in lieu of my virginity, a hard win imo.

I ended up getting a presto dehydrator from the Waltons. It's been running nonstop at 95 F and doing a good job. I ordered some extra trays and cut out the screens to add space for the big guys.

I solicited reviews from several local cool cats that are unrelated/unacquainted (no groupthink contamination of the results). Very positive reviews from every tester, almost hyperbolic from the majority of them.

I plan on starting a new thread detailing the other projects I have in the works, any criticism or direction is highly appreciated as always.

Thanks again for the help y'all, you guys are the bee's knees.
