Mushroom storage

[thetester]

Anyone have tips on long term storage of mushrooms after drying?

Vacuum seal them in a mason jar.

Also keep them in the dark

Honey...tasty also ...store em soon..I long time ago I gave my dad an ounce,he and a friend split a quarter..had a blast..then put em in his desk drawer for 3 months..ate some at that point and nothing happened..at the whole bag and he got nothing..and it happend to a good friend also..so,HURRY UP..LOL...

Serious question..why store em for a long time? Eat that shit...

 

[thetester]

lol I have a full time job, I could never hope to eat them all as they fruit!

By honey, do you mean just putting the dried mushrooms in a jar and filling the jar with honey? When you eat them do you pick them out and leave the honey?

From my experience,the psilocin leaches out,you just heat the honey and throw in rough crumbled shrooms(or raw one,but measure accordingly,I don't. Reccomend this for long storage due to water)...heat at low,very quicky,then cool quickly and mash through a screen...best method of eating is dipping a butter knife in it and licking both sides...

Hrm. That seems like a bit of a hassle. Beside, I actually like the taste of mushrooms, I could munch on them all day!

You asked about storage,not taste..if you don't care either way,freeze them,but the have to be consumed very quickly after they are taken out the freezer..don't plan on takin em out thurs for the sat camping trip...

Bit of a hassle..you seem to be keeping a headstash of shrooms...sometimes that's a hassle..

I've heard just drying them properly and placing them in a mason jar will preserve them nicely for up to 6 months. I'd say three just to be safe. I've also heard storing the jar in the freezer keeps them good for a year.

If not in the freezer, store in a cool and dark place. Things that lower potency.. light, heat, and air. The better you control these, the better your shrooms will be preserved.

I had a friend freeze chocolates with little potency loss over a year..but he had so many shrooms he didn't care either way,but in this off hand experiment it proved they can last that long,although I don't reccomend it.

If they stay dry, they can last a long long time with little loss of potency. I had a pound last 3 years without much loss.

Cool, I wasn't sure if freezing them would ruin them.

 

[tylerrrrr]

They just need to be 100 percent cracker dry before putting them into the freezer.

I've never had to freeze em myself,but know stable compounds tend to stay stable..

But they're more stable the colder it gets.

 

[rory420420]

Yep duck I wish I had the -minus 25 degree freezer I had at work in my house...I could freeze memories...lol

 

[MrEDuck]

I wish I had the -78C freezer we had in any number of labs I worked or studied in.

Or the gas to make it that cold!
