Dehydrating Question
    #27022920 - 11/05/20 09:46 AM (4 years, 2 months ago)

I just harvested my big tub and my dehydrator is broken, wont turn on. I have most of the mushrooms on fans with screen over fan but i still have ALOT more that need dehydrating. Can i use the oven at a low temp? Can i use a desiccant chamber or do they have to be atleast half way dehydrated before putting in a desiccant chamber? Any help/advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone!

Personally I would refrigerate them until you aquire a new dehydro. They'll be fine for days. desiccant drying is subpar imo.

Essentially you want heat and moving air. How low does your oven temp go?

You could turn the oven to its lowest setting. Leave the door cracked open and put a fan near by with it blowing away from the oven. Don't use a solid pan to place the mushrooms on. Use something like a window screen or one of those pizza pans that have holes in them.

Honestly though, it would be a lot easier to just put them in the fridge (like filthy said) and go buy a new dehydrator.
