Drying biggun's whole ( o )( o )
    #8000056 - 02/09/08 01:00 PM (15 years, 11 months ago)

Back in days of yore when i used to buy them, i would typically get whole dried ones, and they were quite sizable too. However when i had grown and dried my own in the distant past they would dry on the outside locking the moisture inside, even when placed in a dehydrator for a few days, so i always have to resort to splitting them in twain producing stringy dried stems and crumbled caps. Of course they small ones werent much of a problem but this seemed to be my last resort for the big ones. So how did these growers manage to dry big ones whole?

There is something wrong with your dehydrator, a friend has had them the size of his forarm and they still dry within eight hours in a dehydrator.

But how can moisture escape if the outside dries first and seals it in? Maybe i could stick em like a voodoo doll or something...

my problem with the big ones is that they don't fit in the dehydrator unless i cut the cap off of the stem. i have a nesco gardenmaster. it just seems like there isn't enough space when the mushroom is lying on its side for the cap to not get squashed

When the caps are that big you have to kind of fold them over the stem, flat between the racks.

If you want to dry the large ones without breaking them apart, get extra trays for your dehydrator and cut out the tray part of it and keep the ring. Trays can be expensive though.
