Dehydrator on partially dried shrooms

Hi
Been reading a lot on the forum about dehydrators and have just had one arrive. I have some shrooms I've fan dried and then dried with desiccant. I would say they're almost cracker dry but not quite. Can I stick them in the dehydrator for a few hours to finish them off?
Thanks
Mark

I wouldn't see why not, you definitely want to dry them as crisp as possible

I usually go the opposite route, drying them most of the way with a dehydrator, and finishing them up with desiccant packets, but I see no reason too avoid the other way round.

You should weigh them first and see if they lose any weight. Then you’ll know if they were dry to begin with.

If you have a dehydrator then you should just be using the dehydrator from start to finish

This is like using the sock to jerk off and the lotion to clean up.

I've heard horror stories about losing potency if you leave them on a dehydrator too long. Maybe it's bullshit, but desiccant packets are cheap, so why not? I haven't yet gotten good enough at growing to have any to waste so I'm careful.

On that topic, I recently fucked up lol
Mistakenly left about 350g fresh to dry for 2 hours on 195°F, but I recently tripped on 2.5 from that batch and it was awesome! I thought for sure I fried them 
To say they were cracker dry is an understatement lol

See 195 and it’s all good. I don’t get why people trip on heat when drying but boil the shrooms for tea without a second thought.

Heat over time is what my (limited) understanding of the issue is. 212 degrees f for 10 min while making tea, isnt going to decrease potency, but 170 degrees for 2-3 days is.
I've never burnt a batch, but I throw desiccant packs in my storage containers anyway, so just leaving them a tad underdone isn't that big a deal to me. They get cracker dry and I don't have to worry about inadvertantly being incompetent.

I’ve forgotten fruits in the dehydrator at 165F for at least a week. Didn’t really effect them that much from what I could tell.

Yeah, I've left them on full blast for between 48 and 72 hours on multiple occasions, and for 36 hours on countless occasions, with seemingly no significant effects
