They've been in the oven for nearly 9h at 60C (140F). The small ones are almost there but the large ones still have quite some water in them. Is there a risk of "over-drying" the small ones if left in there until they're all ready? Is it even a thing?

Any tips on how to make the whole process quicker other than cutting them all small? I want big mushrooms.

never dried mushrooms but i dry tons of meat and i will definitely take the smaller pieces out before the bigger ones if they're finished

sun drying them with or without a fan might make the process quicker depending on your weather and climate
or a dehydrator will too

How long do they take for you? Roughly, just for reference.

>weather and climate
Still too cold for that. I'll try in summer, but I live in a very, very humid area so even then it might not be ideal.

>dehydrator
If this experiment is successful I might invest in one, but for now a oven will have to do.

I'm also stupid. Stop bulling me or I'll never dry mushrooms again.

just save 30 bucks or whatever it is. it'll be quicker. I'm not bullying you, just pointing out the logical fallacy. You will save time, and money. It's tough love.

Anyone know any good dehydrators that can make both jerky and biltong?

>> No.17537625

i did this and refined the technique over the years. you have to do it again and again to find the right setting and time/thickness of the slices.

it def work well enough.

Would salting the mushrooms beforehand help?
