Re: My Findings on Dessicants
    #66572 -

Have you ever heard of Damp Gone? It is also calcium chloride, kinda looks like brown kitty litter. I actually have trouble finding it sometimes, but it works and can be regenerated fairly easily by placing in 400 degree oven for about an hour and a half. If anyone actually knows a supplier or source of Damp Gone, please post it after you read this.

Anyway the reason behind my post is to ask Shroom God this. I have used a fan, but it turned my shrooms a very dark color. Is this normal? I placed them on a grate in front of the fan, not on the fan itself, which seems like it would be less effective, but less damiging, if that is what I did to them? Any thoughts??????

ShroomGod,

Thanks for answering my other "Dessication" thread, and also for thoroughly researching it and sharing your conclusions with all of us. Peace out.

mL.

Foster, I think DampGone is calcium chloride with a clay binder or some such to prevent it from "melting" in to chunks. I have heard of it, but I haven't used it.

As for the strong bluing action under a fan, I sometimes get this and other times do not. I too am curious about it, but I don't think shrooms that turn more blue necessarily have been more damaged. I've had plenty of super strong shrooms that blued heavily during drying and others that did not. I really don't know what it means.

Hi ShroomGod,

You should consider trying potassium carbonate. It is extremely hygroscopic. I left a small amount out in my garage, and in only a few hours it had sucked so much water out of the air that it had become an oil!

is calcium phosphate a dessicant? i bought a big bucket of it from the paint section of a hardware store and it said it was for taking moisture out of basements and stuff
its a brown rock type thing that resembles brown perlite or crushed geolite. i tried using it but it didnt work very well (if at all) thanks

peace

Calcium phosphate isn't listed as hygroscopic in my chem list, so I'd say it isn't.

nice blast from the past.
i concur with his evaluations.
my only revision would be the price cited for 'flower art' silica gel, which was ~$7 US for 5 pounds at last check.

considering its' wide availability,
[hobby lobby, walmart, crafts stores],
its' re-usability,
low toxicity,
and general effectiveness,
silica gel is my best pick. esp. if you pre-dry with a fan/breeze.
