290g fresh to 21g dried?
    #27056804 - 11/25/20 09:27 AM (3 years, 2 months ago)

I've just weighed my 290g harvest of cubensis after 24h in a dehydrator and it's at 21g. That's a reduction of almost 93%.

Is this to be expected or is something off?

That is a very normal reduction. Sometimes the wet fruits are a bit denser and retain more of their weight, and some varieties are more or less dense, but generally 7 to 10% is quite normal.

Normal, if not a little on the low side. I do spot checks and 7.8-8.5% is typical.

10% is a rule of thumb because it's in the ballpark, makes the math easy, and is less likely to cause someone dose more than expected if they're taking fresh mushrooms and are trying to figure out a dry equivalent.

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