Freezing?
    #12053161 - 02/18/10 10:55 AM (14 years, 1 month ago)

Can someone clarify if freezing fresh mushrooms has any ill effects eg. loss of potency etc.?? If going straight from freezer into pot for tea does it hurt?

Cheers!

Don't freeze them. It completely ruins them. Ice expands and breaks cell walls, alkaloids are lost during defreezing and everything turns to mush.  Maybe it could work from the freezer straight to tea, but why risk it, there are much better ways to preserve them.

As Tangich said.

Best way to store dried mushrooms is in an air-tight jar (like a canning jar) with a small packet of desiccant in a cool, dry, dark place.

fresh mushrooms are for eating now
dried are for if you cant eat them now...
in other words, dont try and preserve fresh ones...it is a waste of time and energy
dry them if you cant have em now

Make tea, then freeze that.  Keeps forever, no problems.

freezing is fine as long as you use them right away when they come out. as he just said totally breaks it down it will retain its shape  but as soon as it thaws it will lose it, with edibles freezing is great for hen of the woods cause its tougher, but with ones like wine caps you need to use them right away or they will start to rot.

if you really dont wanna make tea.


aside from that theres always making chocolate then freezing that, totally my favorite way.


chop mushrooms til as fine as you can, put them in container cover in honey so theres a good layer this is known as blue honey you can let it sit and soak or just straight add Cocoa power get the raw kind, then stir til desired consistency then freeze. making it this way taste better and makes em hit harder

i wanted to add if you freeze them then thaw then chop em up before they melt mix with chocolate as i described then re freeze then let them thaw again the mushrooms will dissolve into the chocolate. its fucking awesome
