Epsom salt made shrooms moister?!?
    #25680278 - 12/15/18 06:05 AM (5 years, 3 months ago)

Hey guys.

So i tried drying my first batch with epsom salt. First i pre-dried them using a fan which worked pretty well. I put the salt in the oven for 2hrs at 250°C, took it out, hammered it to pieces, put it in an airtight container with a sheet of paper and on top of that the mushies.

Left the closed containers overnight and wanted to check on them today, however they were way moister than yesterday! They are insanely bruised now and one mushie smelled kinda sweetish.. I put them in front of the fan again now and am going to buy a dehydrator.. still, why didnt the salt work??

Buy a dehydrator. Any other method for drying shrooms is a waste of time and shrooms. I built a dehydrator using an old space heater element in the bottom with a box fan to blow hot air up through the screen shelves. Works great and was almost free to build.

Epsom salt works by being hygroscopic, meaning it absorbs water from the air. Your shrooms should not be in direct contact with the salt (a sheet of paper is still direct contact). Try suspending the shrooms over the salt on a wire mesh covered in paper.

That said, a dehydrator is definitely better.

Before you start...Do you have a Pressure Cooker and a Dehydrator? I highly recommend getting both!
