Yeah, I tried being optimistic...he went through the hassle to produce videos and doesn't seem to be selling anything...
But the videos are incomplete even compared to RR's Youtube samples, much less the 2 DVD set, and Ravel's offered consistently mediocre advice made worse by the fact his wording as if you're doing daycare, not mycological cultivation, clouds any understanding of his motives.

Shrooms and money do not match. Selling my grow-videos? NEVER. I have no financial interests at all.
Shrooms are very clever beings and if they like the way one treats them, they start talking to you. Not though, if you think, to listen to some music is the right thing to do, etc.
Shrooms also ask constantly for cleaning of the spirit. Shrooms are spiritual teachers... and one should treat and dry them with greatest respect. Shrooms want to be an even partner to you; not only some kind of a cheap drug. Shrooms or spores do not like it either to be sold like slaves.

Mushrooms are only fungal beings, one of the simpler forms of life.
The real beauty in the equation is what they do to your infinitely complex mind.
I think failing to recognize that is the true loss.

Then why are you making this post , lol .
If I was having no problem doing something , I wouldn't have to ask what to do about this or that .

I just wanted to know whether the process had halted, as it seems to have. I have no questions that I'm properly removing humidity, though xax kind've hijacked it to make a discussion about that.
I simply hadn't ever dried any monsters and wanted to know if I was done.

Well you posited a lot of bullshit, then were condescending (granted, in response to me ), and never as much as bothered to answer the question!
I shouldn't have even posted how I was dehydrating; it's irrelevant and I didn't ask for advice. Just experience.

I'm just fucking with ya , lol .
I don't know what all this crap about not being able to get the stems and such of your big one's dry is . You guy's must be growing some MONSTERS .
I've had some big ones ,
and yet , to this day , have I to grow one that I had to slice the stem or mutilate in any way . Just put it in the dehydrator and wait a day .
You guy's must really be growing some BIG one's .Guess I better take it up a notch

Okay I've never hit 200+ grams but well over 100 on many this go-round.
Guess that's what happens when you start a tub due to not knowing the (good! all 3 others failed) common advice of 3"-4" max substrate. These EQs fruited out of an 8" deep store poo/straw mix.

As one may see in the video*, it is the way I treat my friends from Ecuador. I pick them up gently, caress them, do a dialogue with the completely duped beings and prepare them very affectionately for their coming status.
One could call it some form of mutual meditation before they become mummy's. I tell them that they do not have to be afraid. I guarantee them to obey all the needed ritual formalities; after all, they are my friend, yes, the ones who are going to move into my body soon.
In a manner of speaking the sacred shrooms start their work in that very moment when they - still packed in a Zip-lock - enter my room. During the whole time of their growth, we constantly refine the communication. They, and of course me too, learn each day a little bit more to understand us.
* By the way the music in that video is also played by me. The voice comes from an artificial Text-Aloud-women.
PS.
Blue juice is a psilocybin-extract drink served in ancient times by the mushroom high Priestess to the mighty Pharaoh. As you can see in the video and also in the picture above, the high Priestess holds a carafe in form of a mushroom...
I saw her on a wall-painting in Cairo and then made this Poser5 picture.

This is a rather hostile thread IMO. I use a dehydrator, but I find that air drying them a little first helps with reducing bruising. The loss of potency he was referring to is caused by making cuts or tearing the stems apart. The more blueing you get, the less potent your mushroom. How much you are losing is something that I am not sure anyone on this board can answer. That particular mushroom had a 5 inch cap on it. I snapped the cap off and put the stem and cap in the dehydrator. IME the huge ones do not really get cracker dry. Meaning they do not snap apart. That particular strain <Yosterizee> which I would recommend highly. results of that strain are on my first grow. Tend to have a bit of hollow stem at the core, so even when it is cracker dry. It still remains plyable. A fan will work fine and if it wont dry out to your satisfaction, and you dont want to use a dehydrator. I would put it over some desiccant. If you do not like my suggestion, then all apologies.

Lol...
Sorry...I'd spent all day answering questions, and no one seemed to want to answer the actual single question, but critique a setup I'm quite happy with. So I took the high road and started a flame war.
I know cracking the stems will reduce potency...don't think that's what he was referring to with oxidation, however.
Thanks! I have since gotten the big'ns appropriately dried. I can tell what you mean; I was definitely overanxious at the time, though.

@ mushbaby
Well, drying the shrooms is only one step on the way to a pleasant experience into a timeless fantastical dimension. What one thinks during such a voyage is important. If your thoughts are right you may move on. If your thoughts are wrong and you are not willing to work on that, you might have to run another round in the rain. As a reward for thinking along the right direction though, one gets often brilliant visuals and fancy sounds.

Like many other drugs, the magic mushrooms tease you - at the beginning - with easy going pleasure. And as soon as you are hooked on shrooms, the shrooms do not show any readiness to deal on certain cosmic laws.
Drying the shrooms - This sentence must be written now, otherwise the moderator comes in. OK?
The best time to harvest the shrooms is the moment before they open their caps. And finally drying shrooms is a bit like making love: Don't rush. Give them time to slowly become mummy's.
