If you're in a humid environment (we're in Louisiana) you can DIY dessicants for keeping your mushrooms dry using a cloth bag and some damprid (calcium chloride). Always recommend heat drying. There is research indicating that mushrooms dried at higher heats are better for extractions and medicinal applications.

how to make large dehydrator for cheaper than cost of commercial dehydrator: cheap bun pan rack + thick bun pan rack cover + full sheet cooling racks + 1500w space heater + fan + temp controller*, countdown timer*, elbow for ducting*, ducting*(*optional. in winter i let it heat the room, in summer i vent outside). can't honestly call it diy bc there's no real assembly required. if you build a cabinet w cheap wood and make trays out of furring strip and hardware cloth you can do this a lot cheaper but this is great for people who have no skills or tools or time to build a cabinet or need a lightweight/portable/easy to dissemble setup. looks pretty clean too

@mycominer Жыл бұрын

With the dehydrators being on a rolling shelf I don't have to worry about that as I can put it in a room that does see much action. For people in their homes, they wont be doing large enough batches to worry about. Spores are already in your environment in large quantities.

@@mycominer okay so running the dehydrator in a space that is exposed to spores anyway is the best plan? I'm starting a full commercial farm growing reishi, lions and Turkey so have always worried about spores is all.

Greetings from Colorado! Just exploring sales locally, do you have any tips on where to find customers for the non culinary dried mushrooms and powders.

@Mossycreekmushroomsofficial Жыл бұрын

Farmer's Markets are where I would start. I would also try food trucks and suggest uses for the dried product. A reishi hot cocoa for example, or oyster mushroom powder as a seasoning. That kind of thing. Sam and I love taking a vial of oyster mushroom powder with us hiking, open a can of sardines, a pack of crackers, sprinkle the powder on your sardine cracker and it changes it in a really great way!

Great video! I have also been drying exces mushrooms and thinking of starting to sell them but the issue is what do i charge for them? I'm from Argentina so it's kinda useless talking about specific prices(pretty sure mushrooms are much cheaper here compared to US) but comparing them to their fresh mushrooms weight because 1kg of fresh mushroom end up being like maybe 90g of dried but selling them at the fresh price seems like too expensive idk it's kinda hard to figure out other than looking at what others are selling them at. Pros: no need for a fridge(or electricity for fridge) they last long enough that you will probably be selling all of them so no waste Cons: Haven't done the math but i think electric dehydrators consume a ton of electricity Imo when dried at first glance they look too expensive to sell at their fresh weight To summarize my question is does it increase or decrease their value compared to their fresh weight when adding up all the cost and savings it entails?

One pound Lion’s mane fresh is $14 - $25 . One pound Lion’s mane dehydrated Is $50 - $150 . Origin, certification, lab testing, organic add to the value

@Mossycreekmushroomsofficial Жыл бұрын

Dehydrated adds value to the product in my opinion. Not only does it help to cure the mushrooms for longer shelf life, but the flavor typically improves. In this case, if I sell a lbs of Lion's Mane for $15 I want at least that for the dried product I have left over. I currently sell my Dried Lion's Mane at $100/lbs. That's dry weight.

I must have miscommunicated somewhere. The mushrooms making me breathy like that are because I have a mild allergy to the spores that's developed over the years. Other than that, it's not really affecting my health. Now, too much fast food and not enough exercise, that really has affected my health. That's being fixed though.

Hes not selling a TON of dried mushrooms with 2 dehydrators, dont buy it for one minute people. Different compounds and flavors are preserved in heat drying and freeze drying which he doesnt even talk about. The oven method and the homemade heater box he talk about is trash, you will have trash dried mushrooms or as Andrew puts it "good enough mushrooms". He spent more time saying dried mushrooms is booming the giving acurate science backed information, which he says people cant agree on.
