....well, if you have a dehydrator use it. I use a harvest snackmaster and it drys them out nicely, and quickly. They have retained potency. Enjoy.

Dry for two or three weeks? Do you mean dry them and consume them two or three weeks later. If you mean a slow dry put'em in a paper bag inside your crisper. If you mean to dry them and consume later. Ya its cool just put'em in a plastic ziplock bag with no air in it.. like press the air out and stick em in the fridge.
They keep for a while in the fridge.
hope that helps ya

If you use a dehydrator, it would be wise to remove the heating element(if it uses heat) heat kills magic.

Put them on a big towel and put a fan blowing on them.
That is about as natural as you are going to get.
2-3 days and they are nice and dry for storage.

MrMycelium · 10-08-07, 12:52

I have stored dry mushys in the freezer and forgot
about them for over a year and they was still great.

a window screen and a box fan is great
suspend the box fan over the suspended screen
make sure u use the side of the screen with raised edges to catch the small ones, this works well

keep the fan about 8" away and i put mine on medium
also you can do this in a dry place like an attic and that should accelerate greatly because the more dry air the better for miosture uptake
also spread them evenly so no to pieces are touching.
in good conditions this only takes a few hrs

I use calcium chloride. It's a highly hygryscopic salt, which means that it sucks any moist out of the air. Each particle of CaCl2 can bind up to 6 particles of water to itself. This salt can draw so much water from the air to that it can even dissolve in it.

Get a large jar, pour some CaCl2 (but not too little!) on the bottom and shrooms in a cup or sth right on the salt. You only have to protect the shrooms from contact with the salt unless you wanna eat some of it. Then close the jar tight and put aside in a dark place. The shrooms are cracker dry in a few days even in low temperatures. They last forever ;].

Dry mine a little with moving air then in fridge they go in a ziplock bag with silica gel.
