ive grown and dried more shrooms than most of u have ever seen with two boxfans :crazy2:

heat expedites the process and might help kill any could be lingering bac but  can totally get 100% cracker dried fan dried mushrooms if u do it right

all u need to do is exhaust the humid air away and they dry 100% if any humid air is recycling ur not doing it right

i used to dry shrooms ontop of an old crt style computer monitor. doesnt mean its a good idea.

if its hot out and you got that air moving? a box fan drying tons of shrooms is going to work but i wouldnt use it as a go to method or anything.

I have a bag of verm that I want to sterilize for use as a cssing layer. What are my method options? Will these work?

Bake in oven
Sterilize in pc

I've read that grains need to be properly hydrated for them to reach sterilization temps on the inside. Does this apply to verm as well, or can I do it dry?

Thanks y'all

People used to bake it in the oven. I guess I would if it were suspect. :shrug:

Verm is mineralic, so it will not burn if you put it dry in the oven.
200 Celsius / 392 F will be fine.

During the manufacturing process, the vermiculite is heated to around 300°C.
So unless your vermiculite has somehow been contaminated, it should be sterile, and there’s no need to put it in the oven again…

I guess it depends on ur rh but if u live in a place with low rh u can definitely just fan dry to 100% cracker dry the same as a dehydrator would produce. It just takes maybe a day longer give or take given whatever other variables . If ur exhausting all the humid air there's still going to be nearly nothing left at the end.

I'm not saying it's superior to using heat to dehydrate but just cuz ppl fan dry wrong doesn't mean it's not just as effective.

It wouldn't work as well anywhere the rh was on the higher side though I guess and dehydrators using heat aren't going to have that issue

Regarding my reason for sterilizing verm:

I purchased a small bag from a garden center that was repackaged from a bulk bag. The garden center is an old dusty musty building. I don't know what the verm has encountered between the manufacturer and the small bag I purchased.

I want to sterilize it for peace of mind after months of sterile work on meh bebes :heart:

Thanks for the input everyone

agreed and everyone debating about drying methods needs to remember the established context, which was someone with a broken dehydrator and a fresh harvest.

But you need to remember the context that people are reading this. Somebody might think to themselves that it’s fine. They don’t have a dehydrator now because you can try to dry them with paper and a fan. It’s not good enough.

I would honestly say it’s probably better to try to struggle through using the oven to do it if you need to do something else in a pinch.

If my dehydrator looked at me wrong, I'd make tea and freeze it.

This is the critical variable. Can you get away with a box fan and no heat at 5% ambient RH? Sure. 60%? No way. After all the heater inside of a dehydrator is meant to just reduce the humidity of the air circulating through it anyway, the heating itself is a secondary effect.

I'm sure that just a fan would work fine for me out here in the desert but the same advice to someone in the PNW isn't going to be valid. +1 on tea being the better option
