Hey to store mushrooms?
    #18912298 - 09/30/13 05:45 PM (10 years, 3 months ago)

What is the best way to store mushrooms with the losing potency, and how long can I store them for before they go bad?

I thought you were talking about store bought mushrooms in the title.:laugh2:
  Dried- in a air tight jar or bag will work- preferably with a desiccant in the bag or jar- cool dark place. If you don't have any desiccant use one from a bag of beef jerky :thumbup:

^what he said
What i do is dry them in my food dehydrator till they are cracker dry then throw them in a half gallon jar with about 3 or 4 packs of desiccant i bought online. i read that they are reusable and you can just throw them in the dehydrator as well so it all works out. then i store them in a drawer away from light and keep them fairly cool. i have no worries about how long they'll last. I'm pretty sure they will last well over a year as long as i don't keep opening the jar and what not.

Yeah I have a food dehydrator and I have dried them to cracker dry. I was trying to come up with the best way to store them and see about how long they will stay good for. Right now I have them sitting in a brown paper just chillin. So I appreciate the good info. And I read about putting them in the freezer to store them.. Any thoughts?

I would have them in something airtight. If I leave mine out for even a day or two they start to absorb moisture from the air and get bendy again. Its dry as hell here where I live as well so if your in a humid area this is probably more likely to happen.

I have not frozen anything yet but I believe that if you were to freeze them you would need them cracker dry and vacuum sealed. But IMO if you have them cracker dry and vacuum sealed they will probably keep just fine for a decade or two making the freezer unnecessary :shrug:

As Pastywhyte said, dont freeze them until they are totally dry.

I think the packets they put in jerky are oxygen absorbers. Desiccant packets are generally used in products that are going to be exposed to open air during storage to prevent moisture damage.

Now I know its hard to say. But what's the longest you have stored them and have them stay good and what was the potency lost?

If stored in an air tight container, away from moisture, oxygen, heat, and light.....they should stay good for years.

Vacuum sealed in a dark cool place for up 2 one year. No responded potency loss. I don't think you will have a problem with potency, with cubes it tends to stay the same.
