shrooms rot because of exposure to oxygen.. much like we are rotting, albeit at a much slower pace. to avoid rot, shrooms must be dried quickly after picking. I'd recommend getting a NESCO SNACKMASTER to avoid the problem of rot. Again, that's a NESCO SNACKMASTER. $40 AT WALMART.

Go to ebay and find yourself a Nesco Snackmaster dehydrator (or if you're rich, a Gardenmaster). I have one of each.

6 hours from fresh to cracker dry with either one, on low.
There is NO BETTER WAY to dry your shrooms.




I don't know why so many people are choosing to ignore this response, but look folks... sell your soul by going to walmart and plunk down $40 for the snackmaster. It comes with 4 trays.. and really, if you want to get extra trays just buy an extra dehydator. The cost is about the same (I believe they sell extras at 2 for $18) and you'll have an extra drying unit in case your original breaks.

Low prices, quick drying times.. what more could you want?




You can get them cheaper than that even!~

---

I've been telling people to check 2nd hand stores and Ebay for years now.

Look for the American Harvest Snackmaster deydrator...it has temp. dial to control the heat on the unit...keep it set on the lowest setting.

I have picked up 3 of these...for under $6.00 each.
And they hadn't even been used...so they were like new.
What do people do with gifts that they don't need...they sell them or give them away to the Goodwill, Salvation Army, Value Villiage type of 2nd hand stores.

If you can find a bunch of them....use all the trays on one...and keep the extra bottom unit's for incase it ever wears out.

yeah, I've seen you mention the whole second-hand store thing before. I'm kinda iffy about buying anything used besides CDs.. but now that I think about it, it'd be a good deal for the trays alone!

I'm converting - PRAISE JEBUS!

Yeah it would be worth buying for the trays alone...is right.

New trays alone cost $15.00 for 2 trays...they come in a 2 pak.

That can add up real fast...if you need alot of trays.

I'm still using the first base unit...and its been over 2 years now...still running strong. :smile:
I still have 2 back up base units...when the first one goes out...some day.

I know your gonna check the 2nd hand stores now!~

Use it after a couple days of fanning in a bulk modified desicant chamber.

He probably doesnt already have a dehydrator because he doesnt have money coming out the nose and thus is going to continue to ignore all this great and well-intended advice.
Instead...
Go to any grocery store and buy a small damp rid room thingy (4$ at most). You should also buy a refill while youre there cause you'll need it after a couple gos ($3 for a ton of it). There, $7 and you could dry pounds of shrooms without loosing magic to heat. Now you take that damp rid room bucket and put it in a big old pot with a lid (or any semi air tight container). Now you have to move the air around. Fans can be bought as cheap as a few dollars, or less even. Wanna nig rig the whole thing? Grab a computer case fan, cut the wires, splice them with a 9-12v power supply from anything. Bang, they'll be MORE than cracker dry in less than 12 hours and storeable in less than 2.

Let's see your FoodDehydrater do that!

i have a small closet, if i bought a couple pounds of silica, and had the shroomies on screens with a box fan blowing on them (like the above pic), do you think that would be enough to keep my rh down in my closet?

last time i filled my closet up with drying shrooms + fan it was humid as fuck, and i believe it slowed down dry time and thus more loss to maggots.

I wish psychedelic mushrooms were legal, because I would like to indulge in this amazing fruit of the earth. Unfortunately, I can only learn about this interesting hobby, and cultivate legal mushrooms.
