Mushroom Weight + A Simple Drying Question.
    #7415545 - 09/16/07 05:52 AM (16 years, 4 months ago)

High Fellow Shroomers.

I harvested my first Casing Mushroom. Im well satisfied but I dont own anything that can Weigh Grams.
So I thought i'd post up  pic of this shroom and Judge yourself approxamatley by the view.
Here's 2 pics. It's fresh there. Anyone knows how much it would get to dry weight?




Also.. Can I just Air Dry it outside?

Thats all Folks.
Cheers :laugh:

You should really have a sharper picture with something familiar to everyone, like a bic lighter, sitting next to it for scale. So much weight could be perceived through the small details that your pictures lack. But with what I can see, I would guess between 15 and 20 grams. Dry them somewhere that humidity is extremely low because it will retain a certain amount of moisture equivalent to the environment its in. I've read that one of the best air methods is to put it on a paper towel, cover it with a black or very dark shirt, then set a 60 watt or better light over it. The dark color shirt absorbs the heat while blocking the light and also absorbs much of the mushrooms moisture as it evaporates. Don't set the light too close, though, because heat will destroy the psilocybin and could also ignite the shirt. Preferably, get a food dehydrator for $30 at wal-mart (I'm sure its cheaper somewhere, but I got mine here). It's pretty much guaranteed to get it cracker dry in just a few hours.


--------------------
My favorites are weeping willows, which aren't really weeping at all. They're very wispy, witty and will dance in the breeze with you. Nothing like a tree that wants to dance with you. Although it doesn't like its thin limbs being pulled at all, it absolutely LOVES it when you walk through them, letting them gently slide over your face and shoulders. If you're naked, the willow considers it to be sex. It will orgasm on your mind and you will blow dream chunks into outer space. All very fun until your neighbor sees you.                                    -The Joekenorer

If you are lucky, maybe a gram between the 2.

It's really impossible to make a meaningful guess :shrug:

I'm gonna say 10 grams wet ~ 1 gram dry

dry weight, probably 0.5-1.0g dried, by eye. gram scales are cheap and easy to come by, it's a worth while investment.

In the mean time, a nickel weighs 5g exactly so if you make a simple balance scale using that as the counterweight, you'll at least be able to determine 5g increments.
