When your mushrooms are way too big to fit in the dehydrator?????
    #5371214 - 03/06/06 03:13 PM (17 years, 10 months ago)

Ive got a couple monsters, caps the size of the top of a pint glass.  it would crush the cap putting it straight into the nesco american harvest dehydrator i bought today  :thumbup:  so i was thinking of using some cardboard and extending the height of the shelf so these bigguns will fit.  whatcha think?

I,m guessing you got the 4 shelf model? Take 1 shelf and bust some of the bottom off,to extend for your bigguns, but as they dry, they will shrink.

I just had a bunch of extra shelves and cut the middle out of them. That way I made each shelf have the size of 2.

It is so wonderful to have shrooms that big!

yeah, the 4 shelfer.


I didnt really want to break a shelf out cause i want all the shelves for the rest of em that arent as big.


if i had a bunch of shelves, or if they werent more than 10 buck a pop, id do that

I just cut the caps off and put them flat. Some of the curly ones can be hard to put in there.

then take a long narrow piece of card board, and make into a cylinder,to extend the height, but be careful with the heat setting.

yeah, me too.. i just cut the shelf out by cutting all of the shelf pieces along the edge with a wire cutter. im not sure if not having that center piece in is going to mess with the way there airflow design is. i think i may need to cut the center out, and put it in. so basically right now there is a ring spacer

more expensive than just breaking a tray, but you might need to order extra trays one day anyway.

I know you've already remedied your situation, but I've got another suggestion just for the hell of it.

You could have just used a regular fan to dry it for a couple of hours, then put it into the dehydrator once it shrunk up a bit.

Either cut off the caps, or get a bigger model dehydrator :grin:

It will do a cow's worth of beef jerky. :rolleyes:

It will also dry well over 1 TON of h/poo or compost at a go. :grin:

Hmm.. I can't help but think that may be how you plan to package and distribute myco-nitro once it hits the commercial market.
