Hey guys just did my first harvest but my dehydrator wont arrive until tomorrow what's the best way to keep them fresh until then?
should i throw them in a plastic bag and keep them in the fridge or put them in a bag with a fan blowing on them

In a plastic bag in the fridge. Some people say they're good that way for a week. I frequently let them go 3-4 days.

When I don’t have room in the dehydrator I leave mine sitting out on newspaper until the dehydrator is freed up... Before I had a dehydrator I’d let them sit on newspaper until cracker dry...

paper bag/newspaper box fan. Like said above.Try and dry them out while you wait for the dehydrator to arrive.

I’ve always pre-dry my mushrooms on paper towels for 12-24h (depends on temperature, if it’s crazy hot just for 6h or so) and later turn on a fan to dry them till they have lost a huge amount of water. Small/thin shrooms are close to crackerdry, then I put all in the dryer till it’s 100% cracker.

Thanks guys I currently have them right next to a fan ill leave it overnight until the dehydrator arrives then i'll get them cracker dry
now im wondering how to do next for the next flushes - harveting turned out to be a lot harder than i expected and I made quite a mess of the substrate. I plan on dunking them for about 20min, draining them out and seeing if they'll have another go - sound like a good plan?
also should i take out the remaining small pins or just let them go in with the dunk?

Yup, I prefer inside a paper bag these days, but a plastic bag works just fine as well.

What do you expect from a 20min dunk? This short period of time just rehydrates the first 0.5" of the cake-sides. I would give the cake minimum 4-6h for soaking, more till 24h is possible if the cake was dry.
Gave my current flushing cake 20h soaking, first time I did this way - Got a goddamn pinning explosion. Maybe just random genetics but cant see a disadvantage if you dry-touch it with papertowels after soaking.

It works if you have a lot of room in your fridge. If you keep food in your fridge I don't know what to say.

Grow less mushrooms. Or convert some of them into an extra fridge if you catch my drift... 
Those caps are beautiful. What variety are those? I bet the look sweet dried

Hey guys so finally got my dehydrator the temps seem to go from 38C/100F to 62C/145F
I've put these bad boys on a medium heat just to be safe I read that 12 or 24 hours seems to be the way to go, theyve already been on a fan for a good 8hrs and drying up my only concern is this thing is from china and I read reviews of it blowing up and setting fire. Also keeping in mind these shrooms seem to be below average in size (not the ones pictured)
again much appreciated i cant wait to continue this hobby and share my future success and experiments with the community!! Here's pics of a BIG BOY I just harvested gonna throw him in there for the next 4-6hrs or so then paper bag overnight until i can chuck him back in when im sure this dehyrator wont blow up while im sleeping

Shrinking is normal. Mushrooms are between 90% and 95% water.

I was aware of that but ah its still a shame to see. fortunately im not a dealer so these are all for my own eyes and conservation but nothing like seeing some big fruits and not bad so far for a first grow i think. Currently running at about 130F or so, read that longer drying times is more of an issue than heat itself (due to them being exposed to the air) so may even crank it up a bit and get it done
Can't wait to do my next batch then move onto cloning/agar some big boys and see how that goes instead of relying on multispore syringes
currently have the tubs soaking then see what they produce after their first flushes, meanwhile have a huge HEALTHY looking bag of RYE grain of jedi mind fuck ready to be spawned (which is prob just B+ or Golden Teacher rebranded)so time to continue the cycle thanks again everyone!!
