Anyone here have experience freezing shroom tea/lemon tek?

Sup fellas. I'm thinking about lemon tekking this batch of shrooms I just picked and storing the liquid in the freezer (with a known weight/volume of course). Have any of you ever tried something like this before? If so, did you notice any appreciable loss in potency from storing them this way? It seems to me like this would help retain the "freshness" of the freshly picked shrooms, but then again I don't want to accidentally ruin a whole harvest either, lol.
In case you're wondering, I'm considering this because I fan-dried my last harvest over about ~3 days and there is a definite loss of potency in those shrooms, very noticeable. They're like half as strong as the fresh ones from the same batch. So yeah, fuck that.
Anyways thanks in advance for any anecdotes, tidbits, etc. etc.

What was the ratio you are using for wet to dry?
You should probably invest in a dehydrator.
I remember one time way back, I had this huge batch that I made ice cream bars with and put them in the freezer for the next day. I put a generous amount in and out of 6 people nobody tripped. And I know it was a good batch so I dont know what happend

10:1 for fresh shrooms to dry. The fan-dried shrooms I mentioned were very near bone dry, but they didn't snap when bent so I overestimated the weight a little, like I set aside ~3.7 as an eighth etc. And some of those shrooms had a lot of blue bruising from all that time in front of the fan so that may have impacted the potency some too. You're right though the simple solution would be for me to get a dehydrator but to be honest I'm one helluva procrastinator. Lol. I have not yet begun to procrastinate.
That's weird how your shroom-cream had no effect, I wonder why. I read a bit about storing various forms of mushrooms in the freezer and the consensus (or lack thereof) seems to be that while it doesn't really degrade the psilo, it usually isn't recommended because freezing freshies turns them into mush. That, and most people just dry theirs. I don't see why freezing shroom juice wouldn't work though.
Maybe I should take one for the team and try it to see what happens.
