or if you're really cheap isn't the epsom salt tek pretty good?

i'm doing ghetto-dry right now...box fan blowing down, held up by 4 pabst cans, into a tray with some baked sea salt covered by a paper down with mushrooms on top

it's working so far, but i haven't been home yet today

120 isnt too hot, a mushroom sitting out in the field with direct sun will get that warm. You can always cut the heating element. Crack that bitch open and find the 2-3 inch coli and cut it. No more heat.

Stop experimenting half way through your first grow. Grow it to maturity, watch it, learn from it. Do this a few times then experiment with different ideas and figure out what works best for you.

I wouldn't bother with the epsom salt really, but I'm sure that would work. You might try pointing the fan upwards (still elevated with pabst cans of course), and lay the mushroom directly on the fan. That way, they're getting much more airflow because the fan isn't constantly blowing into a high pressure zone (like when it's pointed down into a box).

It's generally a bad idea to go straight to the desiccant chamber, especially with larger fruits---it takes quite a long time to remove all that water with no airflow, and mushrooms don't like being wet for a long time.  :frown:

If you don't have a dehydrator, the best way to get them cracker dry is to fan dry them first for a few days and then move them to desiccant chamber to get rid of the remaining water. Works great if you're cheap! :smirk:




good to know.  hopefully i get to use this info in the very near future :smile:

He said there is no fan, so with no heat there would be no circulation at all.

After looking at a Ronco for $5 in a thrift store, I PASSED on it. Simply because it has no fan & by the looks of it, the heat coil runs about 145F, which isn't good IMHO.

American Harvest SnackMaster is the great one (@$40 - new) & besides drying shrooms, its good for making beef jerky.

Hey agar, do you use that one with the heat just turned down all the way? (95) I removed the heating element and rigged it to work but I haven't tried it on any fruits yet. Is it better/ok with the heat, and will it work as well/better without it?
