Drying without any equipment
    #7657700 - 11/20/07 03:24 AM (16 years, 2 months ago)

Are there any simple methods to drying? like just leaving them in a cardboard box in the open? I the shroom is quite big I will just cut it down the middle, I'd rather a slight loss of potency than a rotten shroom. Any help appreciated.

what a friend does is that he chops the shrooms into 1cm pieces and puts them on a paper napkin and waits 3 days. they will be dry enough to store in a plastic baggie and it doesn't effect potency either, just leave them in a warm room that's low humidity and slow air flow and they'll dry just fine. the more surface is exposed the faster they dry.

Save all the silica gell packets that you get in boxes of stuff, open them up into a bowl and dry them in the oven, then use in a air tight container with the shrooms cut into small peices, they should dry pretty well.

Also a fan blowing on the for a day gets them pretty dry too.

Drying them in the updraft of warm air too works pretty well. Try an keep the warm air below 95F.

after some fan drying, stick em in a container with driveway ice melter(basically small pellets of calcium chloride).

or

if you cant get that and have access to a local pharmacy, buy some Epsom salt(magnesium sulphate) and lay it on a tray in the oven for bout half an hour. this turn it into big rocky chunks and gets all the moisture out of it and , thus rendering it Anhydrous Magnesium Suphate

both are very well known dessicants.

i use a combination of both and are very very cheap. well both were available for me .

If it can suck moisture out of the air, then in a sealed container it will dry the shrooms.

I suggest either shucking out the $10 for a a little electric fan, (great for drying clothes too!) which will do the job in about 12-20 hours, OR putting them in a basket over your hot water heater for a few days. cutting them up will make things happen faster, but I dont think they will rot if you dont, I never do.
