Eff Damprid. Buy a Nesco.
    #5341893 - 02/26/06 05:16 PM (17 years, 10 months ago)

If you plan on drying more than a handful of fruits, then don't bother with the Damp-rid. It may be ok for a small harvest, but if you have lots of fruits to dry, shell out the $30 on a nesco. It seems to be well worth the money. Don't learn the lesson the hard way by letting 400G of fresh fruit rot in a desiccant chamber.

How long does it take to fully dry mushrooms with one of these?

It depends how heavy the load is & temp you set it on.
(I use 95/100F)

About 48 hours hours with a dozen wet pounds in it.

about 18/24 hours with 3 or 4 trays full.

$40 seems kinda expensive. i guess worth it for sure though, and will pay for itself after a while.

i think this is a good tek/alternative to a store bought dehydrator.
probly just as efficient, costs less in most casses, but doesnt look as pretty.

Not good for making JERKY in.

Way back when, I adapted a small furnace blower fan to fit on the lid of a 5 gallon plastic bucket. Then, drilled 1/2 inch holes all around the base of the bucket.

Then, used a square of cheese cloth to hold the shrooms inside the bucket, held in place with the bucket lid.

It worked okay. But, nowhere near as good as my Nesco.

With a fan ALONE, you cannot get shrooms drier than the ambient RH of the air being pushed through them. So, if your Rh is 35%, the shrooms will NOT DRY ~ cracker dry. Meaning, they will mold - on you, if placed in baggies.

"cracker dry. Meaning, they will mold - on you, if placed in baggies."

i dissagree, but dont want to start an argument.
i undestand what your saying and youre probably right about the RH.
however, for the last 3 years all i have ever used is a fan only, and have stored them in plastic bags sometimes for months at a time.
no molding no rotting, and you will just have to trust me that they were indeed "cracker" dry.

No argument. Just differing opinions.

I would wager yours were about like rather stiff dry leather.
Which, will work.

I prefer them CRACKER DRY.
That will snap, like a BONE DRY TWIG.

Or, crumble to sand size powder, if crunched up in your hand.
A NESCO, will get then that dry, no matter what the ambient Rh is.

Is anyone using a Magic Chef ?

I just picked one up for $4 at the Goodwill





Isn't heat adjustable , that doesn't matter to me . If its around 140 , that's OK with me .

Even if it doesn't work that great , the trays fit my others , so it's worth the $4





Gotta love the Goodwill  :heart:

you guys get lucky. the other day i went to 10 thrift stores looking for supplies (dehydrators, bigger pcs, humidifiers ect...) and only found one dehydrator from 1983. needless to say it wasnt the type w/ the fan.

I have a regular old nesco. From wally like snaggle.
I was wondering if there is any major difference in performance with the bigger more expensive units and if its better to have 2 units with 10 trays or just go ahead and put 20+ trays on the one. I guess it would just take longer to dry for the bottom layers?
Also there was a big thread over at mycotopia about being able to dry your shroomies at much higher temps then 95f. all the way up to 150+ withour potency loss so I was just gonna turn mine up.
