I'm just putting mine in a dehydrator and letting it run for 12 hours overnight while asleep. I switch it off in the morning to go to work, and then restart it when I get back home. Something about leaving a dehydrator running on 100 plus degree temperatures while you're not at home makes me uneasy. I probably got another 12 hours to go when I get back home and plug it in. But I'm going to go longer than usual just so I can assure they are cracker dry, so I think I'm going to let it run for an extra 12 to make it 36 hours. 36 hours won't destroy any properties will it?

There is no textbook answer for how long it'll take.
Thickness of fruits Total weight in dehydro Temp of dehydro (I run mine on high @ 160) Air circulation of dehydro RH of room Temp And size of room (I built an insulated box around mine so it can achieve high temp and low RH without having to do it to the whole room.)
I want my fruits to last I'm storage so I dry until totally dry. To do this I let it run until I think they are done. Then I set the fattest fruit in the load in the center of whatever rack is farthest from the heating element. I check this fruits weight and write it down to the hundredth of a gram ( 0.00 G). I check in on it from time to time and don't stop drying until it quits losing water weight.
That process is not needed if you know that you've run it long enough to be sure they're dry. But you might be surprised if you start actually scientifically verifying water weight. Specially if you grow any monster fruits/ monster harvests. Let alone a huge dehydro packed full to the gills with thick ass dense fruits

I’m using a 4 rack Excalibur , it’s a pain in the ass to load because the caps always get stuck as you slide the trays in and out, but it seems very effecient. Almost all of the mushrooms are cracker dry 12 hours only time they aren’t is if it’s over loaded. I’m no pro so I don’t get like 80g fresh mushies to dry but anyways What is everyone else using and how do they like it?

Just whatever u do, never Oven Dry! Its the worst way to dry shrooms besides deccisant packets and electric fans.

probably it will, I hope one day I'll try it
I can use oven to dry shrooms but it's a PITA ( you've to put the oven at minimum temp and the let the door a bit open ) but why someone wanna do all this work when dehydrator are so cheap and reckless ?!
there's a Friend of mine how use desiccant and fan, cos it a retard, and you're right it really SUCKS

Desiccant and fan is one of the worst. Its just the wrong way to dry fruits basically.
In my experience, Hot Dry moving air is the best way aka a dehydrator. Then dry air drying/sun drying is second best, then maybe low temp oven drying third.

I dehydrated mine, they're all the way bone cracker dry. I put them in some mason jars with two desiccant packs each, bottom and middle/top, and have them in the back of a cupboard.
