How long will shrooms maintain potency

I have 3 grams of shrooms that i dont want to take right now but i want to save for when i really want to do them but if they are gonna lose a major ammount of potency I'll eat them sooner they are already about a month old i am keeping them in a glass mason jar which in inside a ziplock bag inside an airtight plastic jar inside a closed draw in my closet i think that should help preserve its potency but how long have you guys saved shrooms for and they still had a potent affect

If dried and stored properly, shrooms will keep almost all of their potency for an indefinite amount of time. Years, even.

At least 3 months, even assuming windy, sunny, hot, and humid storage conditions.

According to TMC, store the completely dried mushrooms in a vacuum sealed bag in a dark freezer. Light degrades psylocibin.
Just what I herd. On a totally different subject, does anyone know what a monotub should look and smell like during colonization? I have a thread about this in my log. Thanks for any input

i dont know about freezing mushrooms... maybe if they are completely dried first but I dont know if I would do this? correct me if Im wrong, just doesnt seem right. I keep mine in mason jars, with desiccant, and in a cool dark basement... cracker dry first before going in the mason jars, then desiccant. I think moisture is your worst enemy here, then too high of a temp maybe...

That's just what McKenna said, IMO that method would seem to be the best way to preserve them.

Just keep em dry in a dark drawer or something. Vacuum sealing them and throwing then in the freezer wouldn't be necessary. It's not lsd it's mushrooms that grow in nature so if they can take a beating from mother nature I think theyll be okay chillin in a drawer.

As others have asked, are they wet/dry? Wet shrooms kept in a cold environment in a paper bag which allows them to breath can keep for months. Cracker dry shrooms kept in a reasonable climate away from moisture and light can keep for years.
(cracker dry means 0 moisture, they should have the sound of fall leaves and crumble if you crush them in your hands).

in which case don't fret. Keep them in multiple plastic bags or a glass jar to prevent absorption of moisture from the air and they will be good for years.
