Any potency loss??
    #7695129 - 11/29/07 02:49 PM (16 years, 2 months ago)

I had some shrooms fan drying in a food dehydrator without heat for about 10 days. Do you think there might be any potency loss due to overexposure to air?

The above is just an illusion.

no, not to air. But if you used HIGH temps you could.

They should be fine. To really get them cracker dry, when they are dry as they are going to get from air drying, try putting them in the refridgerator in an open container. A couple days of that and they'll be like little bricks!

P.S. make sure they have been thouroughly air dryed before utilizing this technique. Other wise they can be a magnet for various molds to take over. Be a shame to have mold take away a harvest AFTER they're done growing.

One week in a dehydrator, No. A few months out in open air, YES. The actives do oxidize, inorder to slow down the process, mushrooms should be kept in airtight ziplockbags, or boxes stored in a cool, dark, dry enviroment.

Putting them in the refrigerator will not help dry your shrooms, friges are ver moist and the shrooms will more than likely soak up the moisture, unless you have one of those dry frostless ones.

Fan dry for a day then into a tub with descicent. Takes 1-2 days.

Or use a dehydrator with the heat on the lowest setting.
