Mushroom dehydrator

[tobeee]

My wife's got into mushroom foraging over the last couple of years, and now she's properly obsessed! I used to be terrified but now I'm happy to scoff whatever she brings back! Anyway, she's now looking for a dehydrator, so I wonder if anyone can recommend a good non-plastic one (and possibly any specialist classifieds where we can get a good used one).

I've had one of these for years, its a plastic body and lid but with metal (mesh) trays which are dishwasher proof.

I use paper towels over a radiator.

My wife currently uses baking trays over the radiators and the house smells of smelly socks, so I'm hoping for a dehydrating machine we can put in the garage!

I’ve got a BioChef Arizona dehydrator which may well be overkill for you (I use it for jerky, mainly) but it does mushrooms, amongst other things, very well.

I make biltong, and made a dehydrator myself. It's basically a plastic storage box with a USB powered CPU fan on each end pushing in opposite directions in order to draw air through the box.
