ok, just bought some epsom salt and my mushrooms an extra dehydrator session, been in paper bags since. so do i just make like a tebag of epsom salt and put it in an air tight container with the fungi? or do i have to bake it ? just asking cause cptngarden said BAKED epsom salt. so bake it or just use it?

baking will make it most effective as it is hygroscopic, and draws moisture from the air. it does this by driving the moisture back out of the salts and thus allowing them to take up a greater amount of water from the air, which is in turn leached from your even damper mushrooms untill either both the air and the mushrooms are dry or they have taken up water to capacity.

you can take a decent sized sealable container, line the bottom with an inch or two of salts and place some sort of improvised rack inside to set the mushrooms on. just be sure the mushrooms are held above contact with the epsom salts, as they are a strong laxative. the idea is to have enough salts to readily take up all the water. seal the container and leave 24 hours or more. when finished, keep the mushrooms in a sealed impermeable container away from heat and uv light [such as sunlight].

You could use Damp Rid. It's easy to find at stores like Target. It's a great desiccant.

Within a three foot range from the back of the computer. A computer will keep room temp higher, with a detriment depending on size of said room.

Added benefit is a slow warm airflow about a foot over the mushrooms (Only in an ATX Mid or Full Tower, in upright postition).

The elevated air flow will keep more spores on the paper, by creating a softer lift of air, rather than a direct flow.




Yeah, I agree, but these people think it takes some sorta miracle to dry a damn mushroom. Seriously with you all the way bro. Even the big juicy ones dry out just fine with this tech. Later, keep finding those monster patches holmes.

I scored a K-Tel dehydrator at the Salvation Army for $4 a few weeks ago.

Testing it tonight!
