I was wondering if I could use this product as a desicant to dry my shrooms? It does not list any active ingredients strangely. I was wondering if anyone else has used it. It is in a sealed plastic bag. Looks like little flat white pellets.

Your best bet is gonna be a dehydrator, if you can't buy a new one check your local thrift shop, they usually have one that will work until you can get another one.

dessicants are like recording music off the radio on a tape deck. youtube is your dehydrator.

I thought you could dry in front of a fan and then put in with desicant. I guess I need to read more. Good idea about thrift shop. The cheapest new dehydrator around was 60 dollars. I got my pc on Craigslist for ten dollars, why not a dehydrator. Thx, I hadn't thought of that

I used to use that stuff like 10 years ago, in a huge plastic bowl with a lid. I would put it on the bottom, with a screen above that with my mushrooms on it, with he lid on. It did dry my mushrooms after 5 to 7 days. I never had very many mushrooms though, and they did not turn black btw. That being said, get a dehydrator.

You can fan dry them until they are cracker dry and then put them in there. As stated above though, a dehydrator works best. You can use a fan in a pinch it just takes a long time (24-48+ hours)

I like to make a homemade "desi-pack" out of desiccant and paper towel and an elastic band.
Then, after I've dried my Reishi thoroughly in the dehydrator, I stick them all in a glass jar with a good seal and the desi-pak and keep them out of the light in a cool place.
This way they stay dry and they'll keep for a loooooooong time.
