Of course, the store only had a non-adjustable temperature dehydrator - it's "automatic" instead, 500W, made by NESCO.
Looked thru the searches, and seems like people like 95F, but others say anything under 190 is ok.
I know all of this is essentially estimated trial-and-error subjective conclusive shit (can anyone find a scientific review article on degredation? I can't.)......
but just looking for someone to reassure that 180F dehydration won't automatically wipe out more than half the actives..

I dunno, bc I may return it, and I would also feel stupid, for basically buying a 40 dollar fan...

180f is fine...
It has been found that psilocybin breaks down from heat at 400f.

I like to cook my shrooms before I eat them. I trip harder than I would on the same amount raw, and they taste better. Short exposure to cooking temps doesn't degrade potency.
It's possible, although unlikely, that drying at 180F for prolonged periods could have some negative affect. I would suggest experimenting to see if there is any degradation.
