wetted the shrooms instead of drying them. potency loss unavoidable?
    #6744426 - 04/03/07 10:36 PM (17 years, 9 months ago)

last night i had this brilliant idea of putting the small fresh mushrooms in a hair net and sticking it infront of my airconditioner- i wake up today to find that they actually got wetter! apparently my airconditioner also does a little humidifying which i had no idea of until now. so my shrooms are now all bruised up and wetter than ever before. do you think a significant amount of potency is lost already? thx.

Yeah, but I think dryer air is a by-product of cooling it.

Soooooo, if you are going to spend the money for a device, and also the money for the electricity to operate it, to make you more comfortable it is better to buy an air conditioner, since it not only removes moisture from the room air, it also cools it!




I dunno. lol

You don't even need a dehydrator to get mushrooms completely dry within a few days. Believe it or not some growers might actually decline the offer to buy a dehydrator even if they are able to afford one. But back on topic- Mario, if its only been a day I doubt they lost any noticeable potency, just move them in front of a fan to dry them before they start to decompose. Good luck.

i have a nice air purifier. i put the shrooms in a tupperware with some desiccant pouchs and taped the tupperware to the out-take of the purifier loosely to allow circulation. that was an hour ago. the shrooms are already as dry as ones that are left to fan dry for about 12 hours. im gonna use this method from now on!

Did you use a swamp cooler? Because those shoot out a lot of humidity.

I agree, we need to keep it civil.  But fake air?  :rotfl:



All an air conditioner does is cool the air by means of compressing a refrigerant and expanding it past a valve.  When you compress matter (in this case, a gas) it creates heat.  When you expand it, the opposite happens - it cools off (think of those cans of compressed air dusters... they get really cold when you use them.)  It's the same air that's already inside your house, it's just run across a copper cooling core by use of a blower motor.  The coolant is then run back outside to the compressor, where's it's re-compressed, and goes through the condenser core. A fan blows over the condenser core to transfer as much heat as possible to the outside air - then the cycle repeats.

Many air conditioning systems now have humidifiers installed in order to keep the air from becoming too dry, which is bad for your lungs and skin and makes your house more static-prone.

I'm old and I don't have a dehydrator,not cause I can afford one but just cause I live in a dry enough place where I don't need one,I have thought of getting one on a few occasions when I had massive amounts to dry but in cases like that this >> http://www.homesteadharvest.com/fd2500.html is kinda pricey even if your not broke :hehehe:

buy some damp-rid :laugh: does that shit work for shrooms?

i know the pieces fit, cuz i watched them fall away. mildewed and smoldering, fundamental differing. pure intention juxtaposed will set two lovers souls in motion, disenigrating as it goes, testing our communication. the light that fueled our fire then has burned a hole between us, so, we cannot seem to reach an end, crippling our communication.
the poetry that comes from the squaring off between, and the circling is worth it, finding beauty in the dissonance.

It works,kinda,it gets waterlogged quick and turns into a rock and if you make the mistake of letting your mushrooms actually fall on to it they will taste like that time I salted my french fries until they were solid white

I say get the Krystal kitty litter if you want desiccant,I have only used damp rid for long term storage where the mushrooms themselves wont be coming into contact with it directly
