Dehydrating mushrooms in dehydrator at the highest temp

I'm a little sketched out about setting my dehydrator to the highest temp setting so I dry it on the lowest setting and then use silica packets in mason jars to get them cracker dry. I see a lot of people who do just this and then some who will suggest only using a dehydrator. I assume they must be setting at the highest temp, right? How much does this effect potency? I was reluctant to even use a dehydrator because of this yet I have boiled many pots of shrooms and it went fine. Granted, when I was making a lot of tea it was from freshly picked shrooms by the trashbag full in the southern states so I didn't care at all about weight or potency loss when making tea.

Psilocin’s melting point is 350F The enzymes that degrade shrooms start to denature at 160-170F Heat will make it go faster, too- meaning less time exposed to air before you store them which means less oxidation/potency loss

I run mine at 165 for 12-24hrs depending on how many I’m drying. If anything drying at high heat preserves the potency. Try it you won’t go back.

Crank It, psilocin is not stable no matter which way you dry it but psilocybin is and that's your main focus anyway

  It doesn't matter what i think of you...all that matters is clean spawn I'm tired do me a favor

Awesome, thank you all. That's how I'll do it from now on. certainly will go faster lol. So what should I do with the hundreds of silica packets I have now? They are reusable.

Throw them in bags or jars of dried mush to help keep them that way.

I throw those in with dried stuff along with an oxygen absorber pack like the ones in jerky
