Question for RR and Other Veterns About Dehydrators

I read Through the grow box section a Bit when I was looking to build a More efficient drying source. I then saw A lot of talk of Dehydrators and Loss of Potency. It seemed pretty 50/50 in Terms of People thinking they Lose potency when using a dehydrator.
What is Your stance on this? I was Looking to probably get an American Harvest Dehydrator with the lowest temp setting being 95 degrees Farenheit. I had read that Psilocybin doesnt break down until 150 degrees +.. Again, Your stance please Sir

I haven't noticed a loss of potency when drying at the highest setting my dehydrator goes, which is 155F. I believe that most claimed potency loss after drying is due to improper storage. If the mushrooms are COMPLETELY dried and stored in an airtight container in cool, dark conditions, they stay potent for a very long time. I think psilocybin is effected at much higher temperatures than 150F if I remember correctly. It's psilocin that is unstable and is affected almost immediately after harvesting.

Ive Been Looking on ebay and it looks like I can get a Dehydrator for about the Price of a Fan. Seems stupid not to Make that Investment
