Yeah, I had already found out in the past that if you don't stir them up on occasion they will turn spotty. It's when they are damp and spotty that you really have to worry about. Been there and done that. Over the years you learn what to look for.You never know how the season is going to be, wet or dry. We had a wet summer last year and this year. 2016 had one dry spell. I knew an old timer that had some sort of beans she brought from her old homestead she just dried then whole, then shelled and cooked the beans later. Seemed to work for her but they looked funny. the outside looked like spotty, dried mold? But the beans inside were good.
@robinjopo , I tried threading peppers on a string before we got the dehydrator years ago and hung them up on the inside by windows. They dried for the most part but where they touched on the string. I learned that you have to place little knits so that they didn't touch at all.
