I just posted a thread about how to decrease drying time, and I included a pic of my box fan setup. Basically I put two books on the ground to elevate it and put the box fan upside down so its blowing towards the ground. Then i put a little screen on top if it and lay the mushrooms on top!

ok thanks for the help guys none of the teks i read actualy explained what too do so i didnt know if i should just set em infront of a fan and let em go or what. but now i have a good idea on the drying box im gonna make, and i think im gonna try slicing them down the middle too. of as for the damp-rid where can i obtain that, and how much does it usualy cost?

yeah it doesnt sound like anything i wanna touch either. i got some chicken wire i can just throw em on top of if i do get the damp-rid. is it worth it, i mean 6 bucks aint alot, or should i just stick with a fan and box?

i actually bought mine at walgreens next to the laudry/cleaning products.. 3 dollars for the damp-rid container(comes with a small bad of damp-rid) and i bought a big re-fill damp-rid box for another 3 bucks... cheap and easy to find..

EDIT: a fan works fine, but after the fan does its work, the damp-rid is good for making the shrooms cracker dry... fan for 2 days... then damprid for 2 days... and your golden

what im gonna do is take a bigger tupperware bowl cut 2 circles out of sum rabbit fence one smaller (if its a tappered bowl) towards the bottom of the bowl that i will set a wash cloth on w/ sum damp rid on that. the second circle will be up towards the top more that i will set the mushies on and then cover. all the water that is extracted will catch in the bottom of the bowl below the damp rid.

This is what I do.

Two paper furnace filters the size of a box fan, a box fan, bungee cords with hooks.

Sandwich your fruits between the two filters. Strap the filter to the front of the fan. Set to blow.

I learned this watching Good Eats.

hahaha nice. that was sort of what i was thinkin but i was gonna put the mushes between some chicken wire on the bottom of the box the put the fan on top and cut a hole in the bottem where the chicken wire is so air can blow through. how does that sound?
