I’ve looked all over the internet for information regarding dehydrating your mushrooms and if it will have an effect on the air we breathe? I know! This is a dumb question!!!
But I’m concerned for my animals is all! They are my everything!!!!
If anyone has any information!! PLS HALP!
Also
I just stumbled in here and have no idea where this goes!
I read your posts about dehydration... but nowhere is there info on this!
Thanks so mucheeeeeee

If you harvest the mushrooms before they start sporulating, there should be no effect on the air in your apartment at all.

Unless you have a commercial-scale grow in your home, even if you let every tub you have go to spore it won't affect the air quality in your apartment.

I... THINK this is OP's train of thought:
Mushrooms have spores
Dehydrators blow air
Therefore, dehydrating mushrooms will blow spores through the house

So, seriously some mushrooms can fuck up your lungs with their spore load. This isn't as wacky as some people are seeming to think. Some is the operative word though:
Giant Puffballs cause Lycoperdonosis ("Lycoperdonosis is a respiratory disease caused by the inhalation of large amounts of spores from mature puffballs. It is classified as a hypersensitivity pneumonitis (also called extrinsic allergic alveolitis)—an inflammation of the alveoli within the lung caused by hypersensitivity to inhaled natural dusts.")
Oyster mushrooms cause Mushroom Worker's Lung.
However, the worry of the OP is unfounded. Cubes don't produce enough spores, and the dehydrator won't blow those spores around in the way you think they will. Mushrooms "eject" their spores, causing them to create wind so to speak that they can fly away on. It's not exactly the same when you put a fan on them with heat wrapped up. Your pets will receive no harm... or I'd have a very unhappy dog/cat situation.

The worst the spores will be is during fruiting. Harvest early if you want to completely mitigate spores.

So what you're saying, Shaper, is that when I see a puffball in the woods and my inner toddler comes out to stomp on it, I shouldn't followup by snorting the gray cloud that comes out?
