HELP: Will dry rice dry shrooms?

If not I need a recommendation on a non desiccant drying method (I don't have any desiccant). I figured that the rice would suck the moisture out.... input needed.
I just harvested.
I have read the drying FAQs how much is lost with the light/ air(heat dry) methods?
Thanks in advance.

Eh.. may be worth a shot but i doubt it. This is what i do. Put them on a plate. Wrap a black or dark colored shirt arround the plate. Then put them under a grow light (i set mine right on top of my PMP under my light for my shroomies) takes about 2 days, gets them cracker dry.

^^^^^ Do what he said.
Dry ice will not dry shrooms. Its just really really really fucking cold CO2. Its only called dry ice because it sublimes. The most it would do is give your mushies a nice CO2 bath, and get them pretty damned chilly.

Heatlamp would work even better just dont put it too close to your plate. And your welcome. Good luck

Rice! not ice!
dry rice!
I figured it would take the moisture out, act as a desiccant.

It's only 20 watts, I used the greenhouse effect to get any heat out of it... on second thought.. this harvest was 55 grams wet I might just split them down the middle with a pal.

I tried drying some once with white rice. I had them on a fan for about 8 hours before I put one shroom in a jar with about 1/2 cup of rice. I checked it about 24 hours later and it felt pretty much the same. It may work, but i that it'll take at least 5-6 day to become very noticeable, and that might decrease your potency much more than you'd like.
I'd just stick with 24 hour fan 72 hour desiccant chamber (which can be extremely low tek).

So I harvested 55 wet grams yesterday, me and my friend ate those.. its was... gooood. I got another 40 today... and another 60 or so should be ready tomorrow. Is that an alright amount for one flush on 6 cakes?
