I have two crates there, with a box fan in the middle, that way it has air to draw from the bottom. Black greenhouse screen is layed across it. The mushrooms do not blow off while fan is on lowest setting, lots of room to dry on top.
that's an air tight container, polyfil, a jar, a little cup with damprid inside, the jar lid with a screen inside. and a bigger screen to be the shelf.
I drilled holes in the jar's lid, and then cut a screen to size. I got a 2oz cup that when placed in the jar, it's lip holds at the top. I poked holes all at the bottom and going around the bottom. then i filled it with damprid, set it in the jar, and screwed on the lid. That way water can fall to the bottom of the jar.
the jar is placed in the air tight container, polyfil is added all around to keep in place, and to hold screen shelf.
Add fan dried mushies. |

Nice, but seems kind of elaborate. After fan drying and sometime in a tupperware on a screen over damp-rid I finish with something like this to get that extra cracker dry:

What's the advantage of having Damp Rid separated from the drying chamber's bottom (i.e., so that water can drain below)? Does stuff dry faster or does the Damp Rid last longer?
Damp Rid seems fine just poured straight into the bottom of a tin, so long as the fruit doesn't touch the Damp Rid. Just wondering ...
Nice setup, by the way. Pretty similar to the one we had.
Initiative comes to those who wait.

Here are some pics of drier I made, it works very well. The seperate containers are glued together, but the lids still come off, so replacing decinent can be done without having to disturbe the drying mushies. With all the lids shut its airtight. Mushies that have been fan dried for 24hrs are completly dry after only about 8 hours in this drier.

I love those canisters! I bought mine at an antique mall, had to have them. Mine are circa 1976. I'm jealous Hippie, I wish I had the salt and pepper shakers... |

What power source do you hook that cpu fan up to? I always wanted to utilize some old case fans but never could find a way to power them outside the comp case. |

What about a computer power supply unit?

I hook it directly to the motherboard on my pc, the drier sits on top of it. Not really somehting most people could do, but any old AT powersupply can be plugged into a wall outlet to provide 12v and 5v for pc fans.

To supply power for old computer fans or other "muffin" fans, just figure out the voltage (probably printed on the fan, but usually 12v or 5v). Then get a DC adapter of the same voltage like from old unused electronics, cell phone chargers, etc. You know the ones with the big box-shaped plug on the wall side and usually a circular adapter to plug into the device. You can then just tape the leads onto the interior and exterior of the adapter. Or if you don't want to reuse the adapter for its original purpose, cut the end off and twist and tape or solder the fan leads to the power wires. Make sure you line up positive and negative correctly.

A 10v power transformer will run a 12v fan
Actually it seems a bit quieter, still works fine

Hm, old power supply just used outside the case. Too obvious!  Didn't even think about that. Too many doobies for Dooby. I've got old PC's and parts taking up far too much space. Time to start strippin em down |
