Any suggestions on the drying shed/room would be greatly appreciated.A shed dryer could be very much like the one from my book. I have pictures from another mushroom buyer, who essentially built one like my own. Air is critical, as that is what mostly does the job, not heat.
Thank you for the mushroom dryer pictures. I have photocopied and faxed a copy of the dryer from your book. We do have fans moving in the drying room but I don't think they have the room vented outside. The temperature of the drying room is 53 degrees F. My thoughts are this room is too cold?YES, you MUST have outside ventilation. This changes the "vapor pressure curve," as is the difference between "them and us." Preferably, it is greater than what is going into the room from cracks and the fan heater.
(The solar dryer's temperature is 68 degrees F.)
