Moisture content and 10:1?
    #7972328 - 02/03/08 10:33 AM (15 years, 11 months ago)

Does the 10:1 ratio of fresh-to-dried apply to all harvested strains?

I measured a medium sized B+ at 13grams fresh and then it measured out to be 3 grams dry. The others ones have always applied to the 10:1 'rule of thumb' when determining dry weight, except these last few fruits.

Does the substrate material affect the moisture content and fiber of the mushroom?

it is a rough estimate but it applies to all mushrooms.

I find that it is more like 12:1 but I dry mine stuff more than most

Stop experimenting half way through your first grow. Grow it to maturity, watch it, learn from it. Do this a few times then experiment with different ideas and figure out what works best for you.

The ten to one figure is only a general rule of thumb, not exact science. A waterlogged mushroom will obviously lose more than 90% of its weight, and a dense mushroom grown in cool conditions will lose less than 90% of its weight. It's all irrelevant though.

You can always eat more if you want after 30-60 mins.

A wise old friend tolds me, "when in doupt, double the amount!"
