Title: Storing ground up mushrooms
Post by: the dude abides on March 01, 2013, 01:27 pm
Any advice on this? I've been looking around Erowid etc. but can't really find a definite technique. Fridge them? Or just go with a cool, dry, dark place? Atm they're still in their vacuum sealed packaging from the lovely vendor that is Foxcave/Panacea (thanks guys!) but I'm very conscious of wanting to keep them 'good'.

Peace and happiness guys, cheers :)

No seriously you have it right, any dry cool dark spot will do. I once had shrooms chillin in the freezer for a little over a year. It was the last of a QP I had gotten. Still tripped my balls off.

storing dried mushrooms in a freezer isn't a good idea because that can introduce moisture back into it wich can case bacterial growth

oxygen and water and light are the three factors that contribute to the deterioration of potency

the best way to store dried mushrooms is to keep them dried in a vacuum in a dark place. So keep them in the vacuum pack until ready to use. I store my dried mushrooms whole in ball mason jars under tight vacuum until ready to ship. They stay fresh and potent for 2 years at least that way

What I did was buy some desiccant packets (silica/silicon dioxide) and a large enough mason jar. I taped several packets but near the top of the jar just in case the mushies shouldn't touch them. Or you can buy one of those foodsaver mason jar  vacuum sealers, although I can't attest to the quality of it.

Dry them out first then wrap in a tissue and ziplock in the freezer worked for me.
