(1st Timer) Are these OK?
    #26806459 - 07/06/20 08:59 AM (3 years, 7 months ago)

Hello

I have just harvest around half of the grow kit.
One of the shrooms had around a 2-day headstart on the others, and the veil broke about 1 hour ago. So I harvested him and the others that came with him.

How are they looking? I've never grown shrooms before and want to error check that these are looking healthy.  I am planning on harvesting most of the others tomorrow.

Plan then is to air dry them for a day or so, and then do the desiccant in a sealed container thing to dry them out properly.  I have epsom salts and have read up as much as I can on that technique.

Thanks, any advice would be appreciated. Sorry its a grow kit for now, baby steps, planning on doing it all from scratch next time as I learn more.



EDIT:  They are Golden Teacher strain

Those look great, I would have let the caps open, but it's up to you.

Your proposed method of drying will end poorly if you plan to store them more that a few days.
Either properly use a dehydrator, make tea or eat them.

Ah sweet that's great news.  I ideally would have left them a bit longer but the big boy needed pulling as far as I can tell.  The veil broke so thought better to be safe than sorry.

With the storage. I am planning to use the advice from here... https://www.zamnesia.com/content/285-how-to-dry-and-store-magic-mushrooms

Drying with a desiccant (epsom salts from oven etc).  If I used that technique and then vacuum sealed them.  How long would they last do you reckon?

Probably need them to keep for a month or two I reckon at the most.

Thanks

Id recommend NOT drying with desiccant! Its one of the worst ways to dry. Need dry heat like a dehydrator has.

Yeah u did harvest a bit early but if your preference is for that specific shroom shape, i dont blame ya!

Really? From what I have read online the desiccant technique is usually the suggested method. With 60,000 posts I reckon you know your stuff haha.  So I'm all ears...

Granted most of the sites say that a dehydrator is better.  I just can't justify buying one at the moment, don't have a lot of space to store it and almost certain I'll only use it once in a while when shrooming.  Are there cheap small versions available?

Would the desiccant method not work at all? What would be the results not doing it properly?

It wont dry them completely as its not designed for the wet state of fresh shrooms. Its best used to keeping dried shrooms dry (long term storage).

I use a lamp drying method, essentially indoor sun drying. Use a bright incand bulb or heat lamp to dry them out. Need some sort of heat. Dont use your oven, it gets too hot and doesnt work well for drying.


U can find compact ones for like $40-$50. Its an investiment. Heres an example: https://m.ebay.com/itm/Used-Nesco-FD40BJ6-Snackmaster-ELITE-Food-Jerky-Dehydrator-4-tray-expandable-8-/392769240601?_mwBanner=1&_rdt=1

Its the best way to dry. Second best in lamp drying or a solar oven.
