Candy caps question
    #28579031 - 12/11/23 06:05 PM (1 month, 16 days ago)

Is there a certain way to dry candy caps so they retain their maple syrup smell? I just dehydrated a few pounds and some came out with faint syrup smell but mostly just smelled like burnt mushrooms.

The dehydrator is the same I use for all mushrooms with a permanent temp of 140f

Yeah maybe that's the case. I am in western Washington. But I've definitely heard of people that collect here that have had to throw away bags and gloves from picking because the smell was too intense.

What temp is your dehydrator running at?

Maybe 140 is too hot? Or I ran it too long resulting in the fragrance being cooked out, idk. This is my first experience trying to use these.

I got those few pounds in a couple hours yesterday. I'ma go back tomorrow and grab more to try again.
I will try drying them slowly over a longer period of time.

Just making sure I don't have a different laccaria species. They bleed white when cut on the gills.





I just smelled my mushroom bag from yesterday and it smells a lot more like maple then the dried mushrooms. Weird

I read something elsewhere that said to dry them out slowly. So I'll try that.

Thanks for your input! Appreciate it
