Don't worry too much about percent of wet weight. The way to check would be to run the dehydrator for X hours, weigh a handful of shrooms, run it +1 hour, weigh the same shrooms again. If they are the same weight as the last time you checked, they are fully dried!

InfiniteDreams said: I weigh before and after, and this time is sufficient. I am left with 6-7% dry weight, which would equal a 93-94% water content. Seems accurate.
It depends on the size of your fruits, but yeah ending at 6-7% dry weight is accurate. If you're drying little guys, i don't doubt 6 hours is fine. As i said, with my own testing, a 40g wet shroom was fully dried somewhere between 12-14 hours. I will admit i haven't done enough testing/documenting, but that's a good enough baseline for me so i know that as long as i run my dehydrator for at least 12 hours, i'm golden.

Shouldn’t 24 hours just be the standard? When you do less time yes it may be cracker dry now but what about in a few weeks? It will get bendy again. 24 hours ensures those bad boys stay cracker dry for a long time. I feel like when I used to get mushrooms from others they were always so quick to produce for a profit so they spent very little time on the drying process cause if I sit on them For about a month they went to shit

 You can build a dehydrator any size you want.
Agreed

I'm guessing you haven't stored them air tight in those cases where they get bendy again? I can dry tiny shrooms cracker dry in maybe 3hrs, and they never get bendy after storage in air tight jars. Or maybe there has been some hidden moisture in the middle of your otherwise dry fruits which have made them bendy again.
And Pipthegreatest, is that your build? I'm wondering how you put trays/shelves of fruits in there, i can't see anything that would hold them in place. Or do you just dump a bunch of fruits straight in the bottom of the cabinet?

And since there stackable...up to 12 is it..then one or two trays could be sacafied to make more room....I was just thinking out loud.
I haven't had the problem of too big caps...yet ...but I have no idea 
Trays aren't necessarily sacrificed if you get these little mesh inserts that are great for aborts and such. Just use the insert if you have need for more trays and don't have huge fruits.

And then there's this for the really big days but doesn't work quite as efficiently.

Hey bro did you ever test a small batch at 400F in the oven?
