When using Epsom salts I bet you don't really need to be as anal about keeping them seperate from the shrooms. As in you can make a baggie....(take apart tea bag-staple back together with epsom salts in place of tea) and just throw it in right with the shrooms.

Something funky about epsom salt, i baked it at 400 for 1 hour 5 mins (maybe too long?) and it was hard. I had to put it in a zip-lock bag and punch it back into small crystals, now my knuckles are bleeding Is it supposed to turn hard, perhaps 1 hour 5 mins was too long.
It also seems to react with water after baking. If i put 1 spoon of baked epsom salt in my palm, pour 1 spoon of water it gets hot, very hot! This is kinda cool......
Was baking it 65 mins a bad thing? Fd

A final word on desiccants...
The best desiccant for drying shrooms is Indicator Drierite (anhydrous calcium sulfate) It can be purchased from Myco Supply for $19.95 a quart and 1 quart will last anyone the rest of their life. ?It turns from blue to pink (dry to wet) and is re-chargeable unlimitted times by baking at 425F for 1 hour. (The most fun is seeing it get blue again)
It loses it's indication (color changing) capability after 100 or so re-charges, but continues to work forever. ?It is also completely non-toxic.
1/3 cup will dry your 1 oz. of fan-dried shrooms to cracker-dry in less than 12 hours.
Why mess with anything else? ?When drying shrooms, speed is important. ?The faster you complete the process, the more potency you retain.

Well, maybe just one more word. The thread about epsom salts was dug up from last September. Why didn't it catch on then? Who knows. Different teks for different folks. That's what makes the shroomworld go round. btw....65 minutes probably didn't hurt anything but your knuckles...next time use a hammer.

TripMeister- Ya it might be the best but its $19.95, which is like $40 for me (canadian) + international shipping cost is a lot for a poor guy.
I'll stick with my epsom salt, at least now i dont have to do the black shirt tek....
