Actually freeze drying uses a vacuum but here is a home method that you uses just your freezer. Could be worth trying.

i bet one could be built pretty easy.  all it does is pull cold air through a box under pressure.




the reason air is pulled through under pressure (vacuum) is to pull out moisture as it freezes into vapor.  if i understand the principles correctly.

tnx.  i may try it some day, but letting the moisture freeze in shroom may cause issues?  thats why i like idea of a freeze dryer.

Like said before, LOTS of people say that the loss of potency is due to heat. They say do you have proof that heat does not effect potency while others say it doesn't. So who are you going to believe a Mycologist, trusted cultivator, or some guy who grew a bad batch and just happened to dry at 120 degree and blames it on that because of the myths and bad information he read. Are we really fighting a war on terror or on oil? It is so difficult to test orally because each mushroom could be different. Two people could react to it differently. People say DONT GO ABOVE 90 but trusted cultivators dry at 120?? There is a reason why the word "myth" exists. No one knows for sure. I plan on drying mine in a clothes drier after this grow is done, this will be interesting.

and some buddies have a gas chromatograph they use for cannabis breeding in selection of THC, CBN, etc, etc.  i am going to ask them to do a test: dehydrator vs air/fan dry.  they should prolly do it but it may take a while.

please for the love of pot-smokers everywhere... don't use this machine to "speed dry" your bud...

You dont want to "dry" weed.
You want to CURE it by just hanging your plants and waiting, this slow drying process results in a much smoother, cleaner, better tasting smoke. The sugars need time to metabolize.

I am the first person to admit that I'm wrong about something, If I post anything misinforming or misleading, do not hesitate to call me out on it. IF I'm actually wrong, that is. I usually wont post something unless i know it to be 100% true, but mistakes happen.
If you try to tell me i'm wrong about something im positive of, i will argue with you until you stop breathing.

Has anyone got a Ronco food dehydrator?  looks like it'll do tha job and make jerky when you're done...Im sold!  I saw the commercial late one night and he said it'll do everything you ever dreamed about but failed to mention how it'll work for your October weed harvest and fungii.  He's missing the boat on tons of sales eh?

They even said they'll take 2 payments of $19.99!! perfect for my broke ghetto ass.

That's actually the exact dehydrator I have at the moment. It'll work fine for drying mushrooms.

It has a single heating element on the bottom and heat travels up through the trays.

I prefer my old American Harvest (i think that's the name) which had adjustable heat settings with a fan. The heat came from the top of the dehydrator and a fan blew the air through the trays and out the bottom.

I got my Ronco at Target for $30 though. Might be cheaper to find it in a store. $10 saved and no shipping costs.
