A little bendy
    #7411000 - 09/14/07 09:18 PM (16 years, 4 months ago)

So my friend is very interested in psychedelics and I have recently acquired a quarter of some very potent mushies for us to trip on.  I bent a stem and it did not crack like I thought it was supposed to.  Right now it's in a dark, dry place in one of those nifty double zip-lock bags.  My question is should I toss 'em in the dehydrator?  If so, how long would be apropriate?  They were pretty dry, only a little bendy is all.  Should I be worried about them spoiling?  We might have to wait a few weeks to eat them.

On a side note, my buddy has a four-foot tall lava lamp that I have feeling will be epic.

just felt like braggin about that :tongue2:

Thanks

if your able to just let them open to air but not light, do that. i feel a dehydrator is unnecessary for such amounts.

I disagree, if you have a dehydrator, it's great for small amounts. Sounds like they were dried with a desiccant and not a fan/air dried method so yea, I'd give them a couple hours in there on it's lowest temp setting (if it has one).

And if you don't have a dehydrator, you can make one for about $40. Just buy a box fan, set of bungee cords and several paper-based furnance filters that are roughly the same size as the fan.

Place a filter on the exhaust side of the fan and lay out something to be dehydrated (for example, thinly sliced seasoned steak) until you run out of room, a new filter and repeat until you have one last filter on top as a "lid" and secure the filters to the fan using the bungee cord.

Set it upright, turn it on low and in about eight hours, you'll have real beef jerky - or very cracker dry mushies. You can dry about 16-32oz at a time (six hours) with this little contraption. Got the idea from a Good Eats episode.
