DRYING MUSHROOMS
No matter what equipment (or lack thereof) you have revved up and ready to go, the first step of the drying process is to clean the bottoms of the stems by cutting off the area upon which there is still some substrate. The substrate is the layer of material used as the base for the mycelium to grow. Although it played a critical role in the growing process, it’s no longer useful to the end-goal: getting your shrooms dried out and ready for consumption.
Dehydrator
1. Place the largest mushrooms on the top ring tray and the smallest on bottom ring tray.
2. If your dehydrator does not have a timer, set the temperature to 110-120ºF.
3. Set an alarm or timer for two hours.
4. Check trays and remove dried mushrooms once the timer goes off. You will know if they are done by checking whether they’re “cracker” dry. In other words, you should be able to easily snap the stem.
Mushrooms
There are several factors that will determine how long it takes to dry out your magic mushrooms, including the dehydration method used and the size of your batch. Ultimately, instead of trying to put a strict time limit on the drying process, it is better to use several identifiers to figure out whether your shrooms are properly dried out.
Potter reiterates that you want your magic mushrooms to be “cracker dry,” able to snap the stem with ease. He compares the dried snap that you want to that of a cannabis stem. There should be absolutely no moisture left behind in a perfectly dried mushroom.
The ideal final product is a collection of extremely dried caps and stems. You want your caps to be golden in color, while the stems should stand out with a white surface. Once you’ve successfully dried them, you’ll want to make sure you know how to store shrooms properly. One way is to place them in a vacuum sealed bag with a desiccant pack and store them away in a dark, cool place. A mason jar or tupperware will also work.
And those are the essentials to drying magic mushrooms. Remember, if you can afford it, acquire a dehydrator to ensure that your shrooms get the proper drying they deserve. If you have to opt for an alternative method, such as the Sushi Mat system, keep a close eye on your batch and make sure they come out cracker dry and completely moisture-free.
