Powdered vs. Whole Shroom

I did some searching through the forums on this topic and couldn't come up with anything that gave a conclusive answer to what I was looking for.
What I am wondering is: As far as long-term storage is concerned, does powdering the mushroom versus leaving it whole make any difference in its shelf-life/longevity? Assuming that both are contained in a vacuum-sealed glass container, that contains a desiccant, and is stored somewhere dark and dry?
Looking forward to hearing the discussion!
\EDIT: bah, I might have posted this in the wrong section, let me know if I need to delete and repost or just move it if need be. Thx/Sorry

I've got powdered cubes in a masin jar that are several years old. As of December I can say that I haven't noticed any degradation at all.

As long as each are 100% dehydrated it should not matter in my opinion.

I would think in Theory...the more you break it down...the more o2 can be exposed to it...thus oxidation.
Now how long does whole vs powder...well they may be many years. I can say from experience that I had whole ones dehydrated, vacuum sealed and in a freezer for 3yrs that did loose potency....but YMMV

I don't think it would make a difference really. I imagine that powering it would be worse though cause of extra surface area exposed to air. Moisture is normally the biggest concern

I take mushrooms in pills.
The pills from my first mono a few months ago are still as strong as the pills I just made from PESA.

Just a question TaGyo. Do you powder them and put them in capsules? Or use a pill maker?
I have never done either but I would think to take 5g you would have to take a damn lot of capsules. If a tablet press, where did you pick it up?

oxidation is a kind of reaction it doesn't necessarily mean with oxygen. it depends on how the oxidation reaction occurs.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redox#Examples_of_redox_reactions
no oxygen, oxidation reaction.
the reactions which "denature" the active chemicals take place when the shrooms are not cracker dry.
