How to tell when sclerotia's dry
    #8697361 - 07/29/08 12:57 PM (16 years, 5 months ago)

I have some Atlantis sclerotia sitting in my dehydrator and it's been there a couple of days. I'm not sure if it's completely dried, though and it seems to weigh more than I'd expect if it were entirely dry. Unfortunately, I forgot to note how much they weighed fresh. Is there any test like with mushrooms(for instance, see if you can snap the stem)? Anything to look for?

The caps and stems should have wrinkles like an old person. Feels like a stale cracker, not a fresh one. Also it should snap if you bend it the right way.

Sorry, I don't think I was clear- I was talking about drying sclerotia not the fruitbodies. I know mushrooms should snap, but I can't think of a similar test for the stones.

i find my atlantis to lose lots of potency when dried, your best bet is to try cutting it open with a serated edge, check the center of one, cut your largest in half, if it's dry, they all are.

They are MUCH better fresh for future reference and hold well in the crisper, i've held some for several weeks that are still just fine.
