First you want to fan dry them, just stick a fan on them until most of their moisture has evaporated. Then, put them in a jar with some desiccant to get that "cracker dry goodness" as Nibin would say. For desiccant, just goto Walmart and grab a few bags from shoe boxes.

Cheers!

edit: dehydrators - yea, dissable the heating element (easy) and you got yourself a self contained fanning room for your babies.

Just read that you used a dehydrator, make sure its on the lowest heat setting, it may be too hot for them. If it doesnt have a temp setting then you can disconect the heating element, so its just the fan going.

This will get them cracker dry in a day or so :smile:

I always set my dehydrator on the highest setting to dry them quickly, then finish them off with desiccant. They lose potency from oxidation by being exposed to open air for long periods of time and improper storage, not from heat. At least, not from the temperatures a dehydrator runs at anyway.

There seems to be several, not only different, but contradictive posts. Reasons I assume to be related with personal experience and the fact that heat does not render a psychidelic mushroom impotent.

For example, person A. has been using a dehydrator since day 1. They notice not loss in potencey. Though there may be to some degree, they have no frame of comparison.

Person B. Had a crappy first flush with fruits that were not very potent and assumed it to be his drying method. So, he tossed out his dehydrator and has had good luck since. (Although only good flushes of potent mushrooms)

Person C. Reads tons of misinformation about curing shrooms and takes the most seemingly safe route of drying his mushrooms with a box fan in a room with a space heater on high followed by drying with damp-rid, and storing his mushies in vaccum sealed bags that he puts in an airtight porceline caniser with silica gel that is stored in the back part of his freezer...

Does any scientific study conclude the rumors of actives in cubensis being destroyed by heat?

if i dont want to steal "desiccant" from show shoe boxes from wal-mart, then where do i go to get desiccant from exactly?

and also...is desiccant supposed to come in granules like...lets say kitty litter? 

when i type desiccant and look on google shopping, it comes up wiht all different types, all of them are pre pouched?

should i use...silica desiccant? sea desiccant? im so confused.  someone link me to a site where i can get the kind i need??
