    Dry your harvest without heat or electricity. Fresh mushrooms sit on a mesh screen inside a clear 6.5-quart chamber, above two desiccants that pull moisture out of the air until the mushrooms are cracker-dry. Because the chamber is sealed, it works even in a humid room, and the desiccants recharge in the oven so you can use the kit again and again.

    Why use a desiccant drying kit

    No heat

    The desiccants dry mushrooms gently at room temperature, with no power needed.

    Any room

    The sealed chamber keeps humidity low no matter what the room is doing.

    Two-stage drying

    Color-changing silica gel works fast and shows when it is full; activated alumina keeps drying after that.

    Reusable

    Bake the desiccants to recharge them and run the next harvest.

    Compact

    Fits on a shelf or counter instead of taking up space like a dehydrator.

    How to use it

    1Pre-dry

    Set fresh mushrooms in front of a fan first so most of the water is gone.

    2Load the chamber

    Pour both desiccants into the bottom, set the mesh screen above them and lay the mushrooms in a single layer.

    3Close and wait

    Leave the lid on until stems snap cleanly instead of bending.

    4Recharge

    When the silica gel changes color, bake both desiccants at 250°F for about an hour, cool and reuse.

    In the kit: clear 6.5-quart drying chamber, 0.5 mm mesh screen, 4 oz activated alumina, 4 oz color-changing silica gel and step-by-step instructions.

    Bigger harvests?The Myco Labs 350W Mushroom Dehydrator has five extra-tall trays. To keep dried mushrooms dry, add silica gel drying canisters, and for extra desiccant see replacement desiccants.

    Common questions

    Does it need electricity?

    No. The desiccants do the work, so there is no heat or power involved.

    Should I pre-dry my mushrooms?

    Yes. A fan removes most of the water first, and the desiccants finish the job.

    How do I know the desiccants need recharging?

    The silica gel changes color. Bake both desiccants at 250 degrees F for about 60 minutes, let them cool and reuse them.

    How do I know the mushrooms are dry?

    They should be cracker-dry, with stems that snap cleanly instead of bending.

    Is it better than a dehydrator?

    It is simpler and needs no power, which suits small harvests. A dehydrator is faster for large ones.

    This company is fantastic! I had a minor issue with a product I purchased and contacted the company. Three days later, a replacement product was on my doorstep. My mushrooms are growing fabulously! They are a bit ahead of schedule, and it appears there will be a lush crop soon. The grow bags are so convenient and easy to use, and the provided instructions and links were beyond adequate to teach a beginner how to grow mushrooms. The drying kit was exactly as expected and arrived in a timely manner. I can't wait until my mushrooms are grown and ready for drying. Very impressive!
