Can you blow dried magic mushrooms?

Blowing dried magic mushrooms using conventional methods like blow dryers or ovens is not recommended. High temperatures and rapid drying can diminish their potency and alter the chemical composition of the mushrooms.

Here's a safer and preferred way to dry magic mushrooms:

- Start with fresh, clean magic mushrooms.

- Remove any remaining substrate or debris from the mushrooms.

- Gently blot them with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.

- Place the mushrooms on a drying rack or a mesh screen, ensuring they're not touching each other.

- Choose a well-ventilated and dark space for drying, such as a closet or pantry.

- Maintain good airflow by using a fan or opening windows.

- Avoid direct sunlight, as UV rays can degrade the potency.

- Allow the mushrooms to dry naturally over several days (usually 5 to 7 days) or until they are crispy and brittle.

- To check for doneness, gently snap a mushroom in half. If it snaps cleanly, they're ready.

- Store dried mushrooms in an airtight container in a cool, dark place.

Following this process helps preserve the active compounds in magic mushrooms while maintaining their potency and ensuring their safety for consumption.
