Suggestions on what to do? How can I collect all at once?
    #26837731 - 07/22/20 08:53 AM (3 years, 6 months ago)

Hi! I have 4 tubs at the moment. Here some pics of 3 of them. The 4th (not shown in pics) has just pinned yesterday, but it is going very fast. All 4 tubs were spawned at the same time but the one not shown has finished three days ago, while all of these shown at pics are now almost finishing, so maybe it could catch up and finish in maybe 5/6 days or so I guess.


I've never had more than one or two tubs at the some time. My question is, as I dry the fruits with fan drying method* in 2-3 days in a row, I would like to harvest them all at once because harvesting all in different batches would be a nightmare for me (I fan next to my room, so I can't imagine myself sleeping with a fan raping my ear for a whole week) and maybe could ruin the fan itself I think. It would be very relieving for me if I could do it all at once in just a row on 2/3 days as usual, but as you can see there are lots of stages even at the same tubs, so I should wait some more days I think. What do you suggest? Could the tubs get ruined by the spore release if I harvest them like in 4-6 days from now?
Or another thing that crossed to my mind is that I could cut those which are ready, but I don't know how to preserve them for a few days without losing their potency until I harvest the rest.
I hope you can help me, my head is burning of overthinking it!
Thanks

*Side note: here in my country a regular dehydrator costs around $450 dollars. And the worst of the Nescos (used) is $300 minimum. Yep. It is what it is

If you don't harvest them when the caps open, you'll get spores all over the place.  Also, fan drying isn't going to get them dry enough for storage.  Get a dehydrator if you aren't going to consume them immediately.  If you only want to run the dehydrator once then harvest whats ready and put them in the fridge in a paper bag.

I know it doesn't get rid of all the moisture by fan drying itself.. I didn't tell exactly what I really do, my bad. I always fan dry room temp for 2 days, then oven dry 2 hours and then throw it in a mason jar with desiccant (calcium chloride). They get cracker as hell like that. I had no problema whatsoever by now.
I really wish I could get a proper dehydrator but it is not reachable for me :sad:, and I don't think it will be nearly yet
That's a great idea throwing them at the fridge in a paper bag until harvest the rest! Might try it out:cool:

I found a paper bag. I'll put the mushies there and then throw it in the crisp drawer. Dumb question, but should leave the bag air open or roll it closing it?

I close them.  Don't want them drying out.
