Is my first B+ ruined after drying

Hi all,
I'm very new to growing shrooms and might have done an oopsie with my first batch of B+. I harvested around a 120g of shrooms and then because I thought I was smart I cut them lengthwise in narrow slices(to dry them faster), put them on a baking sheet and in the oven on around 150f/65c until completely dry, and very dark. I ended with 8g. After I did this I began to see that you should in fact not dry your mushrooms in the oven. Have I massacred my sweet innocent boys or is there still hope?

Yeah sorry for no pictures, I grinded it up to a powder so I could dose it into capsules for microdosing.

Should be non actives now, they got burned i think. Works with leaving the oven door open, and pointing a fan on it. Temperature lowest setting. Maybe it's just some oxidation, and they're still fine. But yeah, get a dehydrator.

Slicing them is A-OK, 150F isn't nearly hot enough to hurt the actives (I run my dehydrator @158F). Oven dehydration works, it's just a slow, crappy way to dehydrate things. Like goatrider said, oxidation (which is probably why they turned dark) may have effected potency some, but I doubt by much. If you already powdered and capsuled them without issue, they're probably fine. But only one way to know for sure...

Did you check on them while you dried them? Sounds like you left the door closed like goatrider said, I bet if you watched you'd have noticed all the water seep out onto the mushrooms as well. They are inactive now, unfortunate error but live and learn; the moisture has to escape during drying for the dehydration to occur.
I did this to 700g of wet mush when the oven door closed and no one noticed, live and learn.
Edit: thinking about this, unless they're black they may just be badly oxidized. Test them for potency.

The oven door was closed and as you say the water did seep out as droplets while in the oven. I will get a dehydrator for my next batch. I would say they are black so they probably are destroyed š¢

Not necessarily. Maybe they just lost a bit of potency. Never mind, you learned something
