Drying
    #25606278 - 11/10/18 10:48 PM (6 years, 2 months ago)

Hey all. I’ve done my research and am seeing some crazy long dry times using a dehydrator. My instructions say 2-6 hrs for mushrooms sliced 3/8” thick. I’m experiencing what I interpret cracked dry in about 5 hours with small to average sized fruits.  What gives?
I would hate to screw something up once the hard part is over with!

Also how do you guys deal with long term storage?

Pretty simple. With my old dehydrator I do high setting for 8-12 hours. Depends on size of fruits. After that, storing in a mason jar is fine.
I usually put mine in ziplock bags then put into a mason jar.

There isn't really a time that dictates readiness, but a condition. Cracker dry where the shrooms snap is the point. Store in a seal a meal or a baggie in a glass jar, and you;ll be good.

Keep in mind that shrooms under heat can appear to be cracker dry before they actually are. If you don't over dry/ensure they're hella dry, they'll be bendy again in a few weeks. Its for this reason I always dry for 24 ish hours.

:snoopyes:
This is what I do as well. No matter how dry they seem, they always go at least 16hrs, and that's with small fruits.

I have for sure noticed that most of the shrooms that I've bought in the past have been far from correctly dried. I wonder what percentage of that is ignorance and how much was greed to keep weight up...:confused:

longer they are in the dehydrator the better. you can get desiccant packs from some of the vendors, i throw one or two in my jars for storage.
