freezing freshies
    #11728818 - 12/27/09 09:56 PM (15 years, 23 days ago)

when i harvest if im not ready for drying can i just take the fresh mushrooms and put them in a ziploc bag and freeze them?

i guess freezing wouldnt be the problem, probably unthawing them without the rotting.
so if i took them straight from the freezer and put them into a dissectant bowl would that work? or just eat them frozen.

i will do ANYTHING for some pan cyans, plese...

p.m. me with any questions, ill help with what i can. especially newbs.

i read one time its a bad idea, something about the expansion of the water in the cells, if you think about it shrooms are 90% water, water expands when frozen

I saw someone do this and it completely ruined them.They did not work after they were frozen,and they turned to mush when thawing.Nasty,fucking,non-active mush. :scat:

I threw some fresh mushrooms in the freezer once and it destroyed the psilocin. they came out dark blue and green throughout the entire mushroom they looked so inactive I didn't even eat them.

yeah, water expands when frozen, as you already know, it just shreds em up. when you thaw em out you'll have a nasty mess that smells worse than they would if you just dry em normally.

If your not ready to dry them, stick them in the fridge. they will keep for atleast a few days if not 5. They will dry out a little while in the fridge.

Or you could make tea with the fresh mushrooms then freeze the tea.

would the tea be stable enough to be unthawed and re frozen a few times?

Why would you need to unthaw and refreeze it?
