Are shrooms dehydrated enough?
    #26669449 - 05/13/20 08:59 PM (4 years, 8 months ago)

Hey guys,

I know there’s heaps of posts about this but I dehydrated my subs the other day at 140F for 20 hrs and then again a day after for 12hrs at same heat. The stalks are snappy and they’re all dry as shit but some of the caps don’t completely “snap” like crackers, they break off and make a snap sound. I was just wondering if they’re okay and if I’ve dried them long enough? I have them in a jar with silica

Did you dry them in an oven? When you push on the cap, if they snap without allowing for any give then they are cracker dry. When you push on the cap, can it bend even slightly before it cracks? 140 for 32 hours is a pretty long time to dry.

Some of them bend the slightest and others crunchy, I dried them in dehydrator. I thought it was a long time too do they lose potency the more you dry?

At 140 for 32 hours those should not have even the slightest give or bend-ability in them. It generally takes about 5ish hours (depending how wet and large they are) at 145 to dry in a dehydrator. You would have to fry shrooms in oil over 400F to ruin potency, otherwise even 160F for two straight days in a dehydrator won't reduce potency.

Yeah that’s plenty.

Caps sometimes have a different consistency, the snap thing is more for stems.

A lot of my caps will get either an eggshell type few or like a weak styrofoam feel where they kind of just disintegrate if you squeeze them.

Yeah when I press them they feel completely dry and “foamy” I guess as you described. So they’d all be fine? Just worried cause my first time picking a big harvest and drying. Should I put more silica maybe?

Just checked my manual and it says 131F that’ll still be okay yeah?

Okay cool so considering that they should all be fine and I’m probably just stressing? First time drying a big harvest!

They'll be fine. Throw them into a jar with desiccant packets and store in a dark place that doesn't see excessive heat or light.

That's fine, go ahead and crank the heat up next time.
