Not directed at anyone as Im trying to make an attempt at humor... I have a crew coming over to wrap the house in poly. I have asked the federal aviation administration to divert flights overhead, I'm going to put cones in the street, and a sign that reads, "SAB work in progress" Beat that one! I just tested and achieved my purple belt in internet karate (that one is really more for the confessional conflict).Anyways like grandma said, let's all eat cookies

Got some pseudo wild grown fruits to dry in the tent for first time. Using the fan (pointing straight up at the net), and a small floor dehumidifier. Some scraped outdoor harvest, wanted more fruit to dry but this will be good trial. I let you know how it dried in a couple days.

Can you keep us posted every few hours and temperature to see how long it takes to dry.

Great you should ask, I put the freshly harvested shrooms on the net at roughly noon yesterday, then went back and took this baseline pic 3 hours later (51% rh and 75 degrees). Let me drink this here coffee, and I'll will go back downstairs to check the hygrometer readings this morning. I'll let you know the level on the dehumidifier tank too. Hoping to add a second flush on the next net, not sure thou, the site I harvested was a lil crispy from the high outside temps and lack of water for a couple days.

Venting air out the partially unzipped seam, while keeping positive pressure with the pedestal fan blowing, the ambient basement humidity and light stays out. The zipper is open a lil bit more than the norm for the pic If you blow the first pic up, the hygrometer pouch can be seen. The dry tent is working better than I anticipated. A slight increase in temp with the dehumidifier working over the cool night. A good 6 to 8 ounces of water in the tank (if not more, while the argument could be made its pulling the wetness of the basement thru the tent walls? A significant drop in rh% indicated, and the outer wall surface of the shroom inspected becoming crispy. Minding it's raining out so the moisture in the atmosphere is ofcourse up and temps down. Summary, 6% rh drop and 2 degree temp increase

No rain in the forcast for the next 5 days so I'm going be able to see how this method really goes down. I turned the tent 90 degrees so that the entry flap is opposite of the window light and then I unzipped the flap a little more in hopes to push more moist air out the tent. The dehumidifier tank has roughly 50% more water than yesterday while the hygrometer reading is steady with no drop since yesterday. However, the fruits are getting close to cracker dry and retaining their original shape for now without shriveling up? With no drop in hygrometer reading but more water in the tank I assume the dehumidifier works most efficiently when freshly picked shrooms are added. I'm going to get a handful more of fresh fruits this morning (realizing this might not be much of a control) to add to the tent. I will take a ruler measurement of the tank capacity level to see what happens when adding more wet components. Summary 46% rh and 77 degrees

DERRAYLD, approximately 46 hours since picked and immeadiatly placed on the net in the tent. Went back for what appears to be the last of some outdoor fruit to add to the tent. Immediately the rh% went up and the temp dropped. Got a reservoir measurement at just about 1 7/16 inch capacity. Note to self: use lower net shelf first and then work up when adding fresher picked fungi so that moisture doesn't blow up into (previously harvested) drier tissue from the fan below. Summary, added new shrooms, rh% increased & temp decreased (latent efffect of atmospheric moisture).

After 3 days the first round of fruits are just about snap dry. I would feel more confident in considering canning them tomorrow (4 days total dry time). I do like how they retained alot of the original size and shape as when fresh. The dehumidifier tank capacity went up 5/16", the rh% down at 48, I anticipate it will drop more as the rain stays away.

Cross thread pic here, but I really just wanted to show the before & after comparison (see before & after pic below) to demonstrate how the fruit structure did not shrivel and shrink too badly. After 4 days tent/net drying, the shroom in size closest to this one cracked in 3 places when bending. I wish I would of thought to get a before drying weight on this one, but after the drying process it looks to be just 5.6g. While the stem feels dense and thick. The dehumidifier tank now half way full with the hygrometer stuck at 46% (surely due to the ambient dampness of the basement). I was able to harvest just a lil bit more fresh this morning so I went ahead a scaled this wet (41.7g) to compare to the after drying process weight.
