um im not positive but i dont think the sun gets hot enough to degrade psilocin or psilocybin since their values are around 200 somthing celcius...not quite sure tho.

Im pretty sure it does. While I didnt find anything *official*(although I didnt look that hard) google/ask leads me to believe this is the case. Any dinosaurs that can clear this up?

pick and let sit uncovered. they'll start drying. blow air at 'em with a fan if you got it like folks mentioned. have dried entire harvests by laying them out on paper towels and doing nothing but ignore them for a week... still have never seen a mythical "rotten" shroom from doing so (i dont doubt it can happen but i'll bet you're ok), nor have i noticed a potency difference between "speed" drying and just letting nature take its course despite all the debate there 
either way you're totally fine letting them sit a bit until you can get your hands on the dehydrator

yup.
sun-dried mushrooms will turn bluer typically. blue is related to psilosin, which you can count on losing to an extent when dried anyway. people argue blue is bad because it means you're oxidizing the psilosin, others agrue its good because you know at least there's some there, and others yet say its no real indication of anything. there's plenty of debate on all of that but IME if they're potent mushrooms to begin with they're going to kick your ass regardless if you dry them meticulously or carelessly. do it right when you can but my 2 cents say it doesn't make as big of a difference as some make it out as.

evidence? Noone really has anything (including myself) to support the claims made. I would like the definative answer (although that may not happen).

my whole point is there isn't a definitive answer. no analytical evidence. that's why you don't get a straight answer and why people have different opinions based on their experiences.
i draw my own conclusion from these types of questions that seem to have conflicting answers: it doesn't matter.

Idk I always do it the careful way. I like to get as much out of my shrooms as possible unless time is an issue.

if your shrooms are potent and really dank then it won't make a difference if bruising affects potency because it would be such a small UNNOTICEABLE amount
if your shrooms suck, well then they suck either way

And thus the debate continues. I have seen *unofficial* reports of up to 35 percent potency loss. If those are true then that would not be unnoticable. I do however think it is more noticable at lower doses and less at higher doses. Kinda like when you smoke alot so schwag you still get really high but one hit doesnt fuck you up like dank would.

Neither of those say anything related to heat. Just bruising. What Im saying is the sun causes more of a loss in potency than just allowing them to dry. I said nothing about bruising.

Then if you wish you may jar them and put em in the freezer.
Any water in the mushies will freeze...So when you take it out of the freezer it'll turn to mush ....Not sure what happens when you completely dry them and then freeze tho 
IME, it's best to fan dry for 24-48 hours, then desiccant. Then I just leave it in the desiccant chamber till i'm ready to take em...I've kept them in there for as long as 6 months.
As for the theory on when the chemicals break down....The bluing you see from the mushies when being handled, is pysilobyn(sp?) breaking down. It's really unstable regardless of heat ...
I might have my chemicals mixed up tho, it's either pysiloben, or pysilocin...
exposing them to more extreme conditions isn't needed.

Brusing will occur due to heat. Depending on how much heat we're talking about.
Regardless, brusing isn't really a big deal, simply b/c there's so much chemical left, lol.
I think the only way i'd be worried about not having a trip is if i left mushrooms in the sun for like 2-4 weeks...They'd be so weather, .
And yeh, nothing is conclusive...
Anyways, nice mushrooms, they look CRAZY :P

UV rays do not penetrate glass windows. so, if you sun dry them and are worried about UV potency loss (does that even happen??) just put them in a sunny window. same thing, no UV

they'll be fine, but don't bother w/ a paperbag unless you want to store them fresh in a fridge or something. you might as well just toss them on a paper towel and let them air dry until you get a dehydrator... however i think unless your growing lots you won't need one and a fan will serve you well. i live in eugene where its pretty high humidity and i can fan dry even big bastards within 48 or so hours
