Tallest Shroom
    #7602188 - 11/06/07 11:24 AM (16 years, 2 months ago)

Hi all, I'm just starting to get my 2nd flushes in and wow are they way bigger fruits than the 1st flush produces. Got alot of ones that are 9-10 inches tall. I'm growing Amazonians if that makes a difference. Sporeworks says the stems are 150mm+ (6 inches+). I know other species can easily grow to 10 inches, but I'd still like to ask what was your tallest funguy?

here are 4 of my tallest


closeup


700g+ wet drying, fan propped up with 2 almost empty duct tape rolls.


show me your bigguns!

I'm still looking for a good way to dry my mushrooms, Out of curiosity, how long does it take using this on-top-of-fan drying method?  Preferably I don't want to use a desiccant.

Thanks in advance.

And as for your mushrooms, they look pretty!  Even though they are tall, they look great! :thumbup::mushroom2:

Thanks for all the quick responses :smile:

sum1 post a pic of a biggun!

I usually leave them on the fan for 24-48 hours then if they arent fully dry i put them in a simple desiccant chamber i made with damprid, a plastic pitcher and a coffee filter. If they're on the fan long enough they will become cracker dry, but my relative humidity rarely goes over 10-30%.

I'm not really into the strain differences thing, but in my experience they seem to be very body-oriented. If you want visual, go for B+ (at least, in my experience B+ is very visual)

I dont like the body load they give you at all, anyone here tried thai pink buffalo before? I'm not sure but I think that was the name of the ones i grew a few years back, had the most interesting visuals of a sort of mayan circular artwork that shifted colors and rotated in a VERY intricate pattern. Could have been PF Classic strain but I'm not sure...

get a 3$ damprid container that has the bottom part where the water goes, and a plastic drink pitcher. put the damprid thing in the pitcher, then coffee filter on top then damn near dry shrooms stacked as high as you can. let that sit with the lid on for 12-24 hours. thats assuming u fan dried before.

I'm going to take some pictures and put it up as a butt-easy pictorial soon, just because it comes up so often.

Hardware:
01 new box fan ($12)
05 cheap paper furnance filters roughly the same size as your fan ($5)
02 bungee cords ($3)

Total cost, roughly $20 USD...plus tax and inflation, whatever. A good counter top dehydrator starts at $50.

Construction:
Place a filter on the exhaust side of the fan, and place item to be dehydrated. Once full, place another filter on top and repeat until you only have one filter left. Place final filter on top, bungee cord the filters onto the fan by securing them to the back. Face the fan upright and turn it on low -- most important part here -- in a room that gets good ventilation.

You can dehydrate anything this way and it's how I make my various types of jerky for friends when they pass me along cuts of their meat... And it's just as fast as your countertop dehydrate and can be expanded for the cost of about a dollar per filter. For mushies, 6-10 hours and you'll have your entire flush dry in one run...but you have to have a well ventilated room. All that moisture your pushing off the fruits have to go somewhere and once the air becomes saturated it will not be able to push any more moisture out of the fruit and they won't dry properly.

A closed bathroom with if the fan is running or just leave it in an open room with the doors open to the rest of the house, your HVAC will take care of the rest...

yea it takes 2-3 days to get cracker dry on my fan, but my room is not well ventilated. its mainly the stems that take forever to dry, the caps always shrivel up quick. also big shrooms can take alot longer to dry than small ones.

Also Amazonian. That large one there weighed out at 88g wet.

I think that was my tallest there, about 8-9 in.

takes me 3 hours to get cracker dry shrooms, it's called a nesco snackmaster, it isn't hot enough to degrade anything. I wish the miss information that the amount of heat a dehydrator emits destroys or degrades the potency. It just isn't true. I USED to believe as you guys do, "don't use heat it destroys/degrades", it's just false info with no hard data to back it up.

go spend 40 bux, have cracker dry shrooms in 4 hours.
no reason to wait 2-3 days.

I stuff mine full, and end up with 4-5oz dry per dehydrator.
