Ive boughtn some desiccant, half of which im gonna use to store the dry shrooms, the other half i will use to dry out 9g's of them, while ill take another 9g's of the shrooms heated in the dehydrator, then trip with my 2 mates over a month (first use the heated ones then the desiccant ones) and report if there was any loss of potency.

I use a nesco dehydrator, with temp. set on 95, and I haven't noticed any loss. Not to mention they're bone dry in a matter of hours.

loss in what? What possibly could a dehydrator cause loss in? Size, weight?

Hey! I bought this very dehydrator last week, from Westfalia, where it cost a fraction of the price of those on Ebay. It does not have a temp control, it is either on or off. It dried 35g shrooms in approx 8hours BUT when I ate em at the weekend I got nothing off them other than my living room lights looking especially bright. This is my first grow, cambodian strain, pf tek. Maybe I just had a very weak flush, I don't know. I was gutted. Going to have to eat another 3.5g fan/desiccant dried this weekend and if I don't get any effect I'll know it's the shrooms and not the machine.

Chronic777 and Maria Sabina,
Any chance you guys can stick a thermometer in your deydrators to see how hot they get please.
Cheers

chronic777 said: Its a flower/food dehydrator so ill just putn it ont eh flower setting until theyre ready....any tips on how to keep the shroomz whole? Even though when i use them in food or make tea ill probably girnd them up 
I jsut think that when a dryed shroom stays whoel it looks so cool!
I get them cracker dry, grind them into a fine powder (destroying the cellular structure), then into a glass parfait type jar with a silica gel bag in there and then into a dark cold place.
I prefer grinding them up so when in storage it is very diffucult for anyone to visually identify exactly what that pepper like powder is.
Until someone mistakes it for file, and adds it to your gumbo.
I had to go Google "file" and "gumbo". lol. Bloody Londonas. Who'd adam it eh? A Gumbos a bleedin septic battle! E's 'avin a bubble.

OK, I just stuck a thermometer in there for 30 mins and it went off the reading scale. Max reading on my thermometer is 50C, looks as though it's gone well past 70C

I have now munched down some shrooms of the same batch yet dried using fan/ desiccant and WOW, nowt wrong with them. I'd strongly advise AGAINST buying this food dehydrator as it would appear to have wrecked my mushrooms. Going to have a fiddle with it see if I can disable the heating element as folks on here suggest.
