I know a 1500w heater costs about 25 cents an hour to run so id venture to say less than a quarter of that. Not too significant

I vaguely recall back in '13 I was bitching at my girlfriend about the power bill asking if she had been using the hair dryer or curling iron a lot and just generally complaining about the bill being way too fucking high.
Then she tells me, well you do run that big ass pressure cooker for a couple hours every night and then points out the fact that the dehydrator runs non stop and puts out heat that makes the air conditioning run....
If you're using plastic bags to store your shrooms I highly recommend you use freezer bags as they are made from a higher grade plastic and will keep moisture out better than storage bags.

What setting is your dehydrator on? I heard heat nerfs the results. Mine has a fan settting with no heat. Should I set it to that for 24 hr?

You want to use the heat. A fan without heat will not remove all the moisture. If you're worried about the actives degrading, don't be. The temperature setting will mainly affect the drying time and the way they taste.

Why not using a kitchen exhaust hood, you can put your froots on the grill and set faning on low.
Edit: Okay, it's an oxidation problem...

Hi friend,
30 dollar dehydrator sounds amazing, but I am living in the frozen tundra of Iceland and the only dehydrator's I can find here cost me 300 bucks baby. Could you recommend me a 30 dollar dehydrator on Amazon? The ones I found that weren't so expensive all had preset temperature of 170ยฐ degrees.

A preset temp of 170 sounds fine

Wouldn't so high heat destroy the psilocybin molecules? I read somewhere that they shouldn't be near a heat source at all and especially not cook with them due to that reason.

I wouldn't worry about the heat of a dehydrator it doesn't even come close to being hot enough.
You can deep fry magic mushrooms in 400f oil and they're fine.

170f isn't that high when you consider the exposure is only for hours, not weeks. Also psilocin is far more unstable and the heat denatures the enzymes that dephosphorylate psilocybin and that happens relatively quickly, so in theory in could actually help preserve the potency.

I can only find one specification for a dehidrator about the tray height-it says 3 cm (1,18 inches). Is that a standard? it seems to me that is not enough. I dont want to waste money,so my question is-Is 3 cm enough tray height? or is it better to find one with higher trays?

Theh don't need to fit together perfectly the mushrooms shrink as they dry the trays eventually come back together

So psilocybin should be stable at 170 f drying temperature, what about psilocin? So is it recommended for all mushrooms...even those high in psilocin?
Just curious i grew cubensis years ago, i used the fan dry followed by desiccant chamber back then because it was recommended.

Melting point for either is above 300F.

Psilocin degrades at 350f. Psilocybin at 440f.
Degrade or melting point? Which is more accurate?

A lot of dehydrator are different. The expensive hundreds of dollar ones can dry a tub in 4-6 hours. So Another good way to tell is by the cap! If the mushroom feels cracker dry, check the cap. If your able to wiggle it turn it or move it at all its not done yet. The cap should snap off.
I also think silica packets/desiccant packets are helpful just in case there is any extra moisture, even in the air. I make my own desiccant packets with coffee filters and rubberbands. U can buy a refill bag of desiccant for $5-$9 dollars and it will last you forever. Desiccant works by sucking the moisture out of anything it can. In turn it will turn to liquid. So if u make these and put them in with your dried mushies you can check on it a week later. If the coffee filter is moist on the outside u didn't dry your mushies long enough and the desiccant saved your life lol.
