For Faster Fan Drying..
    #6804116 - 04/18/07 11:57 AM (17 years, 8 months ago)

Hey all, I just wanted to throw a little tip out there that I have found very useful.

I have noticed that making a deep cut into the length of the mushroom before drying decreases the time to dry by about half. So instead of waiting 3 days you'll only wait a day and a half or two at most.

I didn't have a pic of a fresh one that I cut, but here's some dry ones, you can see the cut.



It sucks to cut em up, but it really works. Hope this helps someone...

Here's the box fan I use...turned upside down shrooms go on the screen. Put the cut side down if you do it this way, or if you blow a fan over top put the cut side up.

Also, put the cutside down. I use the box fan turned upside down elevated by two books and I put the shrooms on the back side of it...lemme put up a pic.

For ones 10g and less wet, don't really matter. It would still go faster, but it goes fast already if it's small. Those ones were all about 20-30g wet so 2-3g dry. The one on the top that is all mangled I dropped while I was cutting it and it broke, and that one dried even faster.

Can't you just stick your shrooms in a regular oven at a low temp overnight?

If your oven goes all the way down to 95f I suppose you could. I think thats the recommended temp for dehydrators when drying shrooms, plus they have the built in fan to help dry them, which the oven doesn't have. It might go a little quicker in the oven rather than at room temp, but seems more like a waste of electricity/gas to me.
