My friend came across these two rather large wet mushrooms. His dealer said that he couldnt get any dry mushrooms for a while so he gave him these wet ones for free. So my question is, what would be the best method to drying? Is it similiar to the drying/curing process of weed?
this is my harvest method, for 2 shrooms, use a smaller fan if you wish. "you should fan dry them. get a box fan. most houses already have them. you know, the 2' x 2' square fans? there are 2 ways to use it. the first way is to get a large cardboard box (a little less than 2' cubed. it should have four sides, a bottom, and no top.) put the shrooms on the bottom of the box. lay the box fan on top of the box, so the fan will blow down onto the shrooms. with this method, you can put the fan on high, and they will dry quicker. the second method is to lay your box fan on the ground. place a few bricks under it to elevate it off the ground, because when its placed directly on the ground it gets really noisy. lay a window screen on top of the fan, and tape it down. place the shrooms on top of the fan and turn the fan to low. the shrooms should be dry in a few days. after fan drying, many people continue the process using a dessicant. to do that you will need screen, Tupperware, and "DampRid". open the Tupperware and sprinkle a layer of DampRid on the bottom. place a screen above the DampRid and put your nearly dry shrooms on the screen. make sure the shrooms don't touch the DampRid. then close the Tupperware up. after 24 hours, your shrooms should be completely dry! store them in a dry, cool, dark place."
