Storing in Argon
    #10115420 - 04/06/09 09:12 AM (15 years, 9 months ago)

I have read a few post about storing mushrooms in an inert gas, my question is if they are stored cracker dry in a bag with argon, would they still need to go in the freezer for long term storage? (6months)

Cracker dry mushrooms can be stored in a ziploc baggie for years and be fine - tossing in a few desiccant packets would be even better.

Never tried inert gasses.

You can dry them on a rack or dehydrator.
Place them in jars, vacuum seal the jars. Best if a small amount of desiccant with oxygen absorber is in there too.

Dont need to vacuum seal when using inert gasses though. I know not of argon, but I HAVE used CO2. A lil vinegar and baking soda in a 2liter makes all you need :laugh:

That's why I'm assking:crazy2: I don't want to vacuum seal and I have plenty of free argon. I would throw in some descent packs also.

I say go for it. Are you bothered by the thought of powdering them in a processor?

It should work just fine. I did a quick search online and nitrogen and argon seems to be the way to go when displacing oxygen.

I've never put shrooms under inert gasses, but I have used nitrogen to displace oxygen for MANY other purposes.
