I believe I read that temperatures greater than 40C or 104F will degrade the Psilocybin or Psilocin (not sure which). I agree with I_was_the_walrus... if you can afford the time... try it without heat. I was using a food dehydrator without a thermostat or an off switch for the heating element ('cause I am stupid and new) and realized after some reading that I was compromising the quality of my shrooms. I bypassed the heating element in my dehyrator.. well basically took it out all together so it only blows room temperature air. I have it in a room thats at 74F its taking forever but I am not willing to destroy the shrooms that I have lovingly tended to for the last month for the sake of convenience. Good luck...

If my memory's correct, I read 24 hours in the dehydrator for crispness...you know better then I do AgAr, set me straight!

If they are not completely dry within 24 hours, I understand you can put them in a container with a dessiccant which should remove the last of the moisture or keep them from absorbing anymore from the air...

You know if your gonna eat them on sat..they really dont nessesarly HAVE to be dry. If im gonna eat them all right away then I just like to fan them a bit to get rid of a bit of the moisture... If you just move the decimal place one diget to the left you will be able to estimate your dry weight from the wet for doseing.

what do you mean? You need to dry 2 oz, or drop your harvest in weight by 2 ozs?

Im not sure exactly what you mean either man. But it seems for reasons maybe best not to post anyways. You need dry weight. Then use the dyhydrator. I was just saying they are good fresh too if ya didn't know..some dont. There are myths about fresh mushrooms being deadly....

There are MANY VARIABLES.
Dehydrator type, cfm (or liters), heated, non-heated, number of racks stacked, weight load on racks, thickness of stems, so on & so forth.
95F, 15 stacked racks, with mild forced air - will not get 20 lbs cracker dry in 24 hours.
Time should not be an issue. However long it takes - with whatever you use, is how it goes. 
  Object is to turn this - into this
