5. I thought the dehydrating was an interesting idea so I tried it before responding

cutting the puffballs into 1/8 inch thick filets and using the oven on 170 (I know that's high for dehydrating but electric oven's low temp choices are there or at 100F for rising bread) it took about 5 hrs to dry two cookie sheets full of filets.

I think dehydrating is a great idea but I think I may need a rather larger capacity solar powered dehydrator to make the cost work.
