Yeah that's what I'm trying to do. But won't it work with just air drying with no heat in the dehydrator? I've never tried so that why I'm uncertain about it but technically it should work right?



Yes, it will work just fine. It may take a day or two depending on how large the fruit is but you can always slice them lengthwise to speed it up. Ambient humidity & how packed your dehydrator is will play a role though if you're living in a sauna or jungle.

There is still 'some' heat generated from the electric motor itself running. I know because my room gets warmer when I run it. 🤣

My dehydrator has an adjustable temp from 'only fan' up to 165°F & I no longer turn on the heating element at all. No need. Except to dry out my desiccant packets for good measure. I don't like the smell & the aesthetics of "flash dried" fruit. This is just my preference.

My mexicana fruit is quite dainty and is usually close to dry in twelve hours, no heat. Basically grass. Haha.

My sclerotia is dense, so I break it up to manageable dime sized pieces, but even that is done in about 72 hours. Of course, I seal them up with a desiccant pack afterwards.

Main thing is to get air moving over them & not sealed up when wet.

I understand the desire and preferences for dehydrating with heat but I never had any issues with fan/air drying or potency loss. I'm sure with psilocin heavy species this is a legit concern though. Luckily for me, I don't jive with those anymore. 😎🤣

We acknowledge that, he is in a bind and currently doesn't have the financial means to justify buying a dehydrator to dry 20g of pans.

That being said, adding some heat to a dehydrator would be better than no heat.



ah ok, sorry, i overread that he doesnt have an oven but only stove.
good luck with the drying, hope it pans out!

The corrugated cardboard allows for airflow below the mushrooms and aids in faster drying.

I use it in conjunction with baking paper.

When I dried in the oven I tried baking paper and cardboard but the cardboard dried them faster.

It's the same for drying wet bubble hash, random side point :lol:



Nice, thanks man :hatsoff:

you could also go the extraction/freeze route if retaining the physical fruits isn't of concern.

My dehydrator just broke and I can't get a new one until Sunday... The fan is still going on it but I lost the heat. The problem is that I've got some pan cyans which have been in the fridge for a few days and I want to dehydrate them asap to keep them from going bad.

will they really need any heat considering that they're tiny pan cyans? My other option is waiting until Sunday but they're my only shrooms at the moment so I don't want to fuck em up.



I dry them on the lowest heat setting and they are cracker dry long before 24 hours.

All of the suggestions about putting them on newspaper and using a fan would work.  As well as dissicant etc.

But probably not as well as just putting them in your broken dehydrator and running it without the heat.

The fan will work fine in other words.

Edit:  with pans anyway, they are tiny fruits and don't take much at all to dry.

I was just about try this but with the heat mat added and my dehydrator gave up completely... No fan no heat, just a squeaking sound and I can't fix it even when opening ut up.

Looks like I'm going to have to try this perhaps. Do you have a link to a Tek for it?

Nobody asked, but "stove" is a general term that applies to a device used to heat or cook.

This is a stove


This is a stove


This is also a stove


And so is this



Stove-ery is in the eye of the beholder. I was going to include some fun facts but I now have 20 tabs open and it's not fun anymore.

Use parchment paper(baking paper). Do you have a floor heated bathroom? If not use a fan or low setting in the oven with the door cracked. I've dried a lot of semilanceata on a bathroom floor :muppet:

Wouldn't recommend this for bigger fruits tho.



If only I had heated floors... Love this idea

Hey now, desperate times calls for desperate measures, I have also dried cannabis that way, it's not ideal, but after 6 hours of sweating both from the warm bathroom and weed "withdrawal" just watching it dry enough to get me my "fix".

I'm classy like that :lol:

Admit it, you've also fallen asleep on a heated bathroom floor back in the days, right?

@Genesis- Clonex is the shit 👌



Yeah, that is the shit. I’ve seen this brand before. There’s some weird rules around it though it won’t send it to me through Amazon. I had to order it from a local gardening supply store.

put them on newspaper in front of a fan.  I dried like 2 pounds of golden halos this way and they're individually larger fruits than pans.




No.  Newspaper ink transfers to anything even slightly moist and a fan is not enough to dry mushroom sufficiently. 

You absolutely need a dehydrator to dry and store mushrooms properly.

What’s up doods, I got a question about how much to “ tamp down “ substrates for shoeboxes and monos. I’ve been messing around with different levels of compaction so to say and getting mixed results. I have a couple boxes where I tamped  down the edges more than the center of the sub and it seems like the pins like coming in heavier in those spots.

Anybody ever rock grains in the large 14a mycobags? They have the .5 micron filters. Do I need bags with .2 micron?

Anybody have weight ratios for no prep brown rice in this size bag?

Was looking all through yoshis no prep grain thread and it seems like his WBR ratio is for smaller bags but I'm not sure what size.

newspaper ink is soy based and 100% safe.  if the choice of paper type weirds you out, use parchment paper. 

and yes, fan drying will work in a pinch for fruits the size and morphology of pans.  I have a jar of fan dried GHs here that are over a year old and still slap.
