Does ultraviolet degrade the goodies?
    #5605635 - 05/08/06 04:33 PM (17 years, 8 months ago)

Hi,

This may sound like a bit of a strange question but I was wondering if anyone knows if having a lot of UV light in your drying chamber would degrade the psilocybin/psilocin in the mushrooms. My reason for asking this is that I have made a drying chamber and just realised that the fan I used has UV lights on it when you turn it on and the chamber will be flooded with UV...

Thanks in advance.

it should degrade potency i would think. UV is a sketchy thing. even the low grade ones. also cause mutations if you shine them on growing mushies.

Yah. Always keep the shroomies in the dark from drying to storage.

Thanks, thought as much, that's a bit of a bastard cus now I have to unscrew it and find a fan without lights....Most of the ones I have have lights, ah well, sure I can find one without. :laugh:

I may post my design later as I think it's pretty good and costs virtually nothing to make, I'll do a search first to see if it's been done before.

can you cover the light(s) with some black electrical tape?
I'd be interested to see your drying setup

Anything I say is fictional. Duh.
