Midwest Grow Kits Easy Mushroom Drying Kit

Looking for a reliable method to preserve your mushroom harvest without expensive dehydrators or electricity?

The Easy Mushroom Drying Kit provides everything needed to perfectly dry and preserve your harvest with a simple, reusable system that works even in the most humid environments.

Ideal for hobbyist growers who want to properly preserve their harvest for long-term storage without specialized equipment or ongoing costs.

This complete kit combines two professional-grade desiccants specifically selected and tested for superior mushroom drying performance. The dual-desiccant approach ensures thorough moisture removal even in challenging humid conditions, delivering consistently perfect results without heat that can degrade potency.

The system features a clear 6.5-quart container with fine-mesh separation screen that keeps your mushrooms suspended above the desiccant, allowing for efficient air circulation and even drying. The color-changing silica gel provides a visual indicator when desiccants need regeneration, while the included activated alumina offers exceptional moisture absorption capacity.

Designed for multiple uses, the desiccants can be easily regenerated by baking in a standard oven, making this a truly sustainable preservation solution that can process pounds of material over numerous drying cycles.
