I don't own the plants, they own me.
It's more work, but you could consider running the shrooms through the solar dehydrator during the day, then transferring them to the electric one for overnight to finish them.Id love a solar dehydrator, but its so wet and relatively cool here September and October I’m not sure how well it would work.

I believe I can skip the black panel under the glazing since I don't need the UV protection and the manure should be dark enough to absorb sunlight effectively.

Mike Haasl wrote:Hey Brody, if the sun is out, yes it dries them down well. I think you do want mushrooms to dry in the sun to pick up vitamin D also, I'm not sure if that can be done after they're dry or if it needs to happen before. So I would time my harvest a bit around the forecast. Later in the fall, I think being able to rotate and incline it does help.

I asked questions about that before I bought the book "feeding ourselves" which is why I believed it would have all that. It doesn't. It has a materials list and one very dark photo of the completed dehydrator. I'm not a happy camper.
I have my heart set on building and using the dehydrator this summer, so if anybody could point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it. It looks awesome.
