Storing mushrooms

Well I have a few mushrooms (about 11) and I want to store them for about a week or two before my next trip, now I don't want to dry them as I live with my parents and that may be difficult I've heard submerging them in honey works so that will be great if anyone can confirm that this actually works Or are there any other simple ways on storing them?

I would suggest that you dry them instantly. If you store them in honey and the enviroment is warm a fermentation mostly occurs. Just dry them carefully (T < 50°C, dark) till they are cracker dry (should last < 4 days) and store them under exclusion from light in a cool place (or freeze them). In a dried state of course....
This should save the actives quite good. Ah...and don´t freeze undried/fresh mushrooms - that leads to a disgusting slippery mass, nearly impossible to ingest.

I would suggest quit growing and storing drugs in your parents house.

dont grow unless you have your own place.
I've managed to keep mushrooms fresh for just over a week in a very cold fridge however they do dry up somewhat, and im sure there will be some potency loss due to being exposed to air for so long.
dry them and store in sealed containers with some desicent once complelty cracker dry and they will last for a long time. Make sure they are cracker dry otherwise the desicent wont do its job which is to ensure they stay dry, if theres still moisture in them, the desicent will remove the remaining moisture and then not work to help keep them dry incase any moisture somehow gets into the container.

A friend of mine gave me some spoons of honey with shrooms in them, he had picked wild liberty-caps (Ps. semilanceata), chopped them up and stirred into some warmed up honey. Forgot to ask whether he dried them or not, but I think they were fresh before going into the honey.
He just heated the honey to 30-50 Celsius to make it liquid. And stored the jars in his cellar.
My dad also suggested this way back in the days, but it's been over 30yrs since he's been eating them. Should still work though..

^ also if you chop them up they'll air dry faster in clandestine spaces... I have personally dried mushrooms using only desiccant, you just need to change the desiccant often...
