I have been looking for a good cheaper, easier drying method. My thanks goes out to you Rail_Gun. I need to try this out as soon as I have a few ready for drying. I live in dry ass Salt Lake. I have gone to every hardware store in my area, and none of them have even heard of Damp-Rid, or any of those drying products. I finally found it at a storage shed business. I haven't bought any yet, now with this I won't have to because that shit was expensive.

Can someone who has used both methods please post whether it takes a little longer with the salts? I switched to salts yesterday and my babies don't seem to be drying at the same rate they did with the Damp Rid. The Damp Rid sucked becuz it was so messy....I hated messing with the goo. When I tried to cook and reuse it, it was just so messy and so much trouble that I bought the salts. Baked as instructed and crushed the rocks. This a.m., my babies don't seem to be much drier. I'm cooking more, in case I didn't use enough, but just looking for more input, so I know I'm on the right track. Appreciate any input.

Is it ok to stack to mushies on top of each other in the dry chamber?? i been drying them by a small fan for 24 hours and them putting them in a dry chamber with drierite on a birdscreen that comes 3/4 inches from the bottom and them a birdscreen close to the top for the mushies to lay on ... i have never stacked them on top of each other but also i have never had a good enough flush to run into that problem

Big cheap ass bag of rock salt baked will do the same thing. Either fiberglass screen door screen or small mesh wire hardware cloth (any hardware store has it) works for a screen between the r/salt & shrooms. SixTango

Question for Rail_Gun (or someone with knowledge)
First off, awesome idea Already in the process of using.
My question is, is there a certain amount of salt to be used according to the fresh weight?
Second question is baked epsom salt strong enough to dry fresh shrooms right off the bat?
I have them drying in an air tight tupperware with 3/4 a half gallon of epsom salt. (only one left at the store, I bet one of yous is my neighbor lol) I checked the shrooms after 12 hrs and they are not any dryer. But I also didn't pre dry them first...
I'll be pre drying them today and then throw em back in ^_^

Awesome old thread! 
Epsom salts will work, but damprid is readily available and works even better. Fan dry first as stated^^^. And/or buy a dehydrator at a thrift shop for five bucks.
