Do they dry well like that? Always used the jerky dehydrator.

I dried the last batch this way and it worked well. I noticed little change in the first 24hrs, but after 48 they shrank significantly. It took 72 hrs to get them crunchy to the point where i could break one in half. Two of those days were pretty humid which slowed the dehydration. I think they could be completely dry in 36-48h under dry warm conditions. Some people cut the big ones in half, which would speed things up, but i left them whole.
below is a picture of a dried one next to a fresh one of about equal size.



This is the first year I've dried them. Do you usually freeze them after drying?

Looked for a couple hours in Blaine Co. this evening. Either still too dry, too early..........found zero fungi of any kind.
