What you're storing them in doesn't look all that great.
Thanks for the info Nevermind I do wonder why it's not a great (sufficient) place though? The Damp Rid should take care of any moisture and the draw (pictured) has a good tight (maybe not air tight) fit in the drawer it fits into. Also, the drawer itself is fully closed up so other then the holes for the draws to slide into, there is really no other way for air to get in. Also, i have no problem getting another damp rid (or 2) to increase the effect of moisture removal (although that could end up being costly, don't know?, this is all new to me). I understand that air tight is BEST, but surly with enough damp rid it should be enough (in small areas)??
I guess i was hoping this to be enough cause it's easy (especially if I've got hundreds of dried shrooms in there). I can be lazy sometimes Don't get me wrong, if Air tight is the only way for dried mushrooms to survive (for 12 months) and not lose much (or any) of it's active ingredient?, then that the way I'll go Do you still think my (easy) system will not do the job?

If its not sufficently airtight it will draw moisture in from the fresh air. I use a plastic lunchbox i got from golo for like $2.

Airtight is the only way to go.
I doubt they'd last more than a couple weeks in that drawer even with the damp rid. Even just an ice cream container with a lid on it will do a better job than the drawer, even if you just store them in that until you can get something better.
A good way to test is to snap the stems on your dry shrooms. If it snaps completely in two then it's dry. If it bends and rips but doesn't snap then you've got some moisture in them and need to dry them again.
I lost about 200g last year due to moisture. It really sucks to have to throw away that many shrooms.

Greetings fellow shroomers.
Newbie here. I have a bush block in the Huon Valley, it's got plenty of interesting things growing on it! I'm keen to meet up with anyone local to share experience/knowledge.
PM me if you're in the area.
GB.

A mate of mine used to pick down that way.
Some real big shrooms can be found around there in the pine forests. It's too far away for me to go and have a hunt down there though, but good luck.

Far out!!! 200g is alot to lose That's terrible. I hope this season you find heaps to makeup for that loss, good luck
Thanks for your words of wisdom concerning storage I've only got about 10g left and then im all out. I will do something about an air tight solution while looking for more shrooms.
cya for now

Nice. Looks like you got some sort of Panaeolus sp. there.
What kind of habitat were they growing in?

Was it growing from dung? Or just straight from the grass?
It looks like Panaeolus papilionaceus to me or maybe Panaeolina foeniseci(neither are active), but I have very limited experience identifying this species so I'm most likely wrong.

Yeah Pan. pap. sounds about right. Nice finds, shame it's not active though.
Those are some nice lookin subs you got there.
I went for a hunt yesterday on my break at work. Haven't had any rain this week and my patch is almost completely dried out. I got about 7 or so subs, but they aren't big ones like yours.

I've got 4 patches where they're popping up now. My big patch from last year hasn't got anything yet - I'm hoping some more rain will fix that.
Patch 1
Patch 2
Patch 3
And patch 4
And here's what I left with
