Ruined my shrooms drying, how did I screw up?

Had freshly picked shrooms and dried them in a Presto 06300 Dehydro Electric Food Dehydrator for about 7-8 hours. It says the preset temperature is approximately 165° and there's no way to adjust or turn off the heat mechanism.
I then put it in a tubaware with a desiccant. I ate 4 grams dried worth several days later and I never fully tripped. I was in that weird 'inbetween' uncomfortable level that you have right before the come up, but it was stuck in that level.
About two weeks prior I ate about 20 grams wet, so I doubt tolerance is an issue here unless the fact I switched from wet to dry was the determining factor.
It sounds like the dehydrator was the issue? In the past I dried it with a fan.
Thanks a ton friends.

No, switching over to an inferior drying method would have caused loss of potency, just dry em in the dehydrator til cracker dry and put them in an airtight container.

+1 for this I also recommend amber jars there perfect for storage. just make sure there cracker dry and put some desiccant in the storage jars.

if all physical attributes on your end was the same; sound like the fruits had different potency. dehydrating on 165 won't kill the potency in 8 hours.

I'm worried about ruining another batch. I dont understand how this could have happened? How can you NOT trip on 4 dried grams?

You aren't going to ruin anything by putting them in a dehydrator for 8-12hrs or more at 165°F. That's what most of us do.
You likely just had some weak mushrooms.

Where if you're alone, you know, you either come through it or you die, but in any case you avoid the fuss.'" - Terrence McKenna

Is that a thing? The batch before from the same jar was stellar!!

Very apologetic for bumping this and if it doesn't yield any responses, I will not bump again!
But is Is that a thing that batches of shrooms can be excessively weaker then the previous one? The batch before from the same jar was stellar!!
Thank you.

Do you have any pics of after you dried them?
The only time I ruined mushrooms in a dehydrator was by drying very wet, wild Pan cyans at high temp in a dehydrator and the resulting shrooms were crispy black twigs. Not a good day

Yes, potency can vary with genetics being different. But there's also set and setting to account for. What you've eaten, how much sleep you've had, mind state, all these things can make for huge differences in perceived effects. So it's not just the mushrooms.
