Can you dry full mushrooms without a dehydrator?
    #26596806 - 04/12/20 10:04 PM (3 years, 9 months ago)

Just harvested my first batch! Wanted to dry them all looking nice and intact and not cut them in half and remove caps and what not.

Left about five 4-5 inch long, 3/4 inch wide stem sized on a paper towel with a fan blowing right on top of them for 24 hours and they are still far from dry.

Does a dehydrator fully dry uncut mushrooms? Would somethign like this do the trick https://www.amazon.com/Presto-06300-Dehydro-Electric-Dehydrator/dp/B008H2OELY/ref=sxin_2_ac_m_pm?ac_md=2-0-VW5kZXIgJDUw-ac_d_pm&cv_ct_cx=dehydrator&dchild=1&keywords=dehydrator&pd_rd_i=B008H2OELY&pd_rd_r=dd3b64d2-6baf-4550-9193-7237b6553558&pd_rd_w=6j4wo&pd_rd_wg=Eputr&pf_rd_p=7d20a4a8-392e-4493-b921-9340b9e850ce&pf_rd_r=M7N7PNE7SWQZ7VJ5DGEE&psc=1&qid=1586746118&sprefix=dehydrat&sr=1-1-3f74d940-526b-436f-a83d-f486577edf4d

Should they take longer than 24 hours to dry with a fan on them?

And finally, is the best call just to say screw aesthetics and cut/tear them all up to expose surface area before drying? Thanks

If they are to big to fit in the trays, you cant set a tray on top without a gap then yea cut them down the stipe. And they will take 24-48hrs Depending on how full you have the trays. I use the same dehydrator for years and it works perfectly.

Make sure it doesn't get too hot. I used a regular food dehydrator and killed a whole ounce of mushrooms. Just test it with an eighth first.

Your mushrooms must have been pretty weak to begin with because a dehydrator turned up as hot as it gets is pretty much unanimously agreed upon as the best way to dry.  My fruits have never become bunk from dehydrating with heat.  I've grown weak mushrooms but it wasnt the dehydrators fault.

Test it with an eighth first. I can't explain why it works for some and not others. But it's a fact my dehydrator killed good mushrooms in 6 hours.

You've got nothing to lose by testing it first

Well, that’s too late for me then anyway. Because I dried half my stash yesterday and I’m in the current state of drying the other half now. But that’s all that grew that I harvested to date. There’s a much, much greater yield coming Since I have only first-flush harvested from like 8 of my 24  PE Tek cakes.

But I haven’t heard anywhere that you could ruin them, or reduce their potency by over drying in the dehydrator. I’m not saying you’re wrong, I have no idea, I’m just saying that this is only what I’ve heard. Well, lol it’s too late for me then anyway, at least for this part of my harvest.

But I haven’t heard anywhere that you could ruin them, or reduce their potency by over drying in the dehydrator. I’m not saying you’re wrong, I have no idea, I’m just saying that this is only what I’ve heard. I can’t really test them out anyway, right now, because I tripped on Saturday, and it’s only two days later. So I literally have no idea how I would go about testing them, because my tolerance would probably require a very high amount even for a microdose.

I doubt that. I mean coincidences happen and sometimes they may lead you to the conclusion. Or there may be something else you're not considering :shrug: I've actually singed mushrooms a little in the oven when I used an overly hot oven without enough ventilation and they were still surprisingly potent.

They probably weren’t completely dry and the moisture killed the potency.

Why would moisture kill potency after two weeks? You can keep fresh mushrooms for weeks without issue

I don't know. I wouldn't let it deter you from trying again though. I used to fan dry for years and when I switched heat I knew I could never go back. The quality is so much better and it seems like dud batches actually became less common.
