Preserve mushrooms in ice?
    #21799663 - 06/12/15 09:22 PM (8 years, 7 months ago)

I have just a few mushrooms and I don't want to bother about drying them etc.
I want to preserve maybe for a couple of months.
I thought maybe to blend them with water and put in freezer. My reasoning is that ice should not exchange gases well.
Does that make sense?

Just dry them, it takes zero effort.

As long as you don't mind drinking mushie slush water... yes, it will work fine like that.

I have read of several people making shroom tea and freezing it for very long lengths of time with little or no potency loss.

Check out blue honey.

I'm growing out some PE now to use for honey.

I would expect them to lose potency if you freeze them due to ice crystals forming and piercing cell walls.

If I understand it properly, I will need to dry it before, which is what I want to avoid.

What is your method of drying?

Place on screen, wait a week or so. Not much more complicated than that. Unless you live in a rainforest, they will dry out.

63% humidity, but pretty hot.
In my conditions, also I cannot use fan.
I think I should start to build drying chamber and get desiccants, but for
this time, I will just freeze.

I think tea will freeze fine.  I've kept acidified (lemon teked) tea in the fridge for a week without any noticeable potency loss.

Regardless of what I have read, I have always found dessicants optional. at 63% humidity and hot, you can dry them out to leather-dry (without a fan) and they will keep for over a year without any noticeable loss of potency compared to desiccant drying. If you want to save them for 3-5 years, maybe go cracker dry, but for a few months its definitely unnecessary.
