I don't believe that one bit. I've used food dehydrators in the past. Definitely not worth it. Sure, paul might have a controversial reputation. But when it comes to something as simplistic as drying mushrooms. I will take his word for it.

Go for it lol. A guy who hasn't grown magic mushrooms and if he has it was decades ago vs hundreds of people who have and their evidence is experience based.

I'll go out on a limb and say that literally every single person on here that's grown more than a few pounds, and had to figure it out and experience it for themselves, will tell you fan drying is shit.

Anyone whos doing tubs or multiple tubs and getting sizeable harvests will tell you. Use a dehydrator to dry to keep the finished product as potent and presentable as possible. Why fuck up your hard work.

That part already happened. I'm just putting evidence out there because there's dozens of lurking noobs that never post that see this

I put all of the whole shrooms on a baking sheet and have a fan blowing above them on low. The air is not directly touching the shrooms and I'm not sure if that's okay. If the air was directly touching the shrooms I think they would blow away.
After they become mostly dry from this, I plan to put them in a Mason jar with a non-toxic desiccant.
How did you grow those?
I hunted them.

Fan drying is good because it takes out 70% of the moisture so your desiccant will last longer but fan drying alone will definitely not be enough.
Awesome. So, do I store them indefinitely with the desiccant? I keep reading that the desiccant shouldn't touch the shrooms, but I'm not sure why. The desiccant I'm going to use is non-toxic.

Oven tek is less shitty but still a shitty way to dry.

I don't know if oven Tek means this , but what about drying the shrooms in an oven with the door open a crack? I've been calling places for 45 minutes and nobody carries dehydrators in store in my location.
What's the maximum temperature I should use?

You can go up to 400+ F
Most dehydrators go to 170ish.
You can deep fry cubes, pressure cook them, boil them an hour or more... Etc...

As far as I can tell a space heater blowing into a box with holes to let the air out would be the same as my dehydrator.
For long term storage do you guys put your bags of dry mushrooms in a fridge? I’ve got ounces now bagged up in shoeboxes and my climate is crazy dry so I think they’ll last a long time but I’m not positive.

All the TCs say dehydrate them as dry as you can as fast as you can. Now who are you going to believe?

I do own an air fryer. Can that be used as a poor man's dehydrator?

I’m not familiar with how hot an air fryer gets but anything that blows warm air will work. A food dehydrator is basically a space heater that blows in all directions with shelves on it.
From what I’ve read as long as it won’t blow hot enough to set them on fire you’ll be ok.

Amazon has pretty fast shipping. I wonder how much better a convection oven is compared to a basic oven. Seriously unless you live waaay out in the middle of nowhere it shouldn't be more than maybe an hr drive to a store with at least a basic unit. Gotta love Menards, they got all sorts of stuff.

Personally I use vacuum seal bags but mason jars should work great too. Once 100% of the water has been removed they become very durable.
I have an airfryer also, I would imagine it works great for drying shrooms but I've never tried it. I wish I had thought of that a long time ago though 😂
