How Long do Magic Truffles Take to Dry
How long does it take for magic truffles to sufficiently dry? Firstly, this depends on the method of drying as well as other factors such as temperature and relative humidity. The average range period for drying truffles can take as little as 12 hours and as long as one week. In the course of drying them, they will shrink and harden as they dry out and you will know they are ready when you cut one open and the inside is bone-dry.
How to Dry Magic Truffles
Before thoroughly drying your magic truffles, it’s advised to pre-dry them. This is the process of removing the lion’s share of the moisture content and is incredibly simple to achieve. Once you’ve collected your haul, place your truffles onto a sheet or newspaper, some kitchen towel, or a piece of card, with about 1cm gap between them.
If you want, you can slice or break up your truffles into a more manageable size. In smaller pieces, they are more likely to pre-dry much faster and consistently compared to full-sized sclerotia.
Overall, it takes just a few hours for the pre-drying process to be completed. From here, you can choose a method to thoroughly dry them out and remove any lingering moisture.
There are several ways to effectively dry our magi truffles at home and none of them require much hassle. However, we have listed 3 methods here.
Air Drying
Here, you can leave your truffles out on the open and continue the drying process without intervention. However, it’s worth noting that, while this is arguably the cheapest and easiest way to dry your truffles, if the environment you’re drying in has high humidity levels, your truffles may never dry out fully.
However, you can always make use of a dehumidifier and run a fan to keep things on the dryer side. Also, ensure to keep your truffles out of direct light. Air drying can take several days or up to a week to render your truffles thoroughly dry. Where can I buy magic truffles in the UK? How to microdose magic truffles?
Dehydrator
If you have a dehydrator at your disposal, you can definitely use that to dry your truffles. This device provides a constant but gentle heat source that is easily controllable. Although they can be relatively expensive to purchase, dehydrators offer an excellent way to dry your truffles evenly and fairly quickly.
All you will need to do is dial in a low temperature of around 50°C and set the time for 8 – 12 hours. This will provide an ample amount of time for the truffles to sufficiently dry. An excellent way to test if they’ve ready is to give them a little pinch. If your truffles still have a little give and feel soft, they’re not done just yet. If they’re solid and begin to crumble or break in your fingers, you’ve got some high-quality ruffles that are good to go.
Heat Mat
Any Magic Mushroom or Magic Truffle cultivator worth their salt will undoubtedly have a heat mat in their arsenal of growing gear. And while it provides the perfect temperature for your mycelium to form, with just a little tinkering, you can also use it to dry out your truffles.
Simply dial it into lower heat setting, rest your magic truffles on a piece of paper towel or card and place it over the heat mat for around 12 hours. Be sure to keep the humidity in check and to periodically move your truffles around on the towel or card and your stash will be dried and ready before you know it.
NB: Before practicing any of the above mentioned methods, endeavour to go through the pre-drying process so you can obtain the best results.
Why is Dryng Magic Truffles Important?
First things first, why is it important to dry your magic truffles, in the first place? Does it serve any real purpose other than aesthetics? Despite fresh truffles containing significantly less water than fresh magic mushrooms, the presence of even small amount of moisture still poses a threat to the viability of your stash and can cause the growth of mould, rendering your truffles useless.
Furthermore, by drying magic truffles, not only do you extend their shelf-life indefinitely, but by reducing the moisture content by around 60% you also increase their potency, gram for gram, compared to fresh truffles.
How to Store Magic Truffles
Once you receive your truffles, endeavour to place them in a clean tissue paper or a breathable container at room temperature in a dark space. Also, make sure you change the tissue paper daily to avoid the build-up of moisture and to retain aroma. Do not freeze your truffle: it will accumulate moisture and lose its aroma.
