Stealth short-term drying/storage solution?
    #26449936 - 01/24/20 12:36 PM (4 years, 24 days ago)

I have a dehydrator coming in the mail i a few days, but suddenly I have fruits ready to harvest. I am in a stealth situation, unfortunately, operating in a closet without power. So, my plan was to bust out the dehydrator during the day when family is out of the house. Suddenly I have a few mushrooms ready and I suspect there will be more over the weekend.

Is there a way I can store them temporarily just so that they wont be ruined over the weekend? I know that desiccant chamber isn't good for fresh shrooms, and I don't have one anyways, but is there something I can do?

Any advice much appreciated!!

Put them in a paper bag and hide them in the back of the fridge... I’d write “Australian red top oysters” or something on bag just in case :lol:

Or just eat em

Air dry for now... with a fan and space heater? It's only a few fruits.

Or I second eating them. Freshies are the besties!

Update:

By the time I got back home, they almost all had broken their veils! It happened in like 3 hours. So, I floated the substrate and harvested it all. They look healthy and the places where I broke off the mushrooms were immediately very blue.

Now I have my drying crisis :smile: I have people around tonight, so the best I could do was to spread them out on a paper towel and put them in a cardboard box, open, on a shelf in the closet. Not much air movement in there. Tonight I'll have to figure something out but I am not sure what to do.

Still, I am proud of my first harvest! Check it out :smile:

Put them in a paper bag in a thermos or lunchbox or something with a frozen water bottle.

They’re supposed to be good in a paper bag in the fridge for at least a week so it seems like they’d prob survive just in a bag in your drawer for a couple days.

Those are some good lookin shrooms man good job.
What kind?

Just of of curiosity, what is the benefit of the fridge? It seems like a very humid place, so isn't that the opposite effect?

The cold slows everything down.

Idk where you’re at but my place is super dry and if I leave shrooms out even for a few hours they start to dry up. I really think they’ll be fine if you can dry them in a couple days.

Or there’s always the middle of the night sneak and oven dry.
