Too many shrooms!

Hey guys. So, I started my second bulk grow about two months ago (my second grow at all but I've done bulk both times) and while my first go round wasn't all that successful (lots of contams and a total yield of maybe 12g dry,) this grow was totally different. First off, this grow went about 3-4 times faster. Additionally, my mushies are beautiful! Most importantly though (and at the risk of being mercilessly ridiculed) I finished my first flush today and I have way too much. I spawned to coir from three wbs pint jars, and ended the first flush with almost 900g wet. For me (casual user, don't really want to sell) that's way more than I know what to do with. I need a better way to bulk dry (currently using damprid) and info on how to store them and how long I can store them. Half are b+ and half are mazatapec.

When they are dried properly just store them in a bag or jar without any excess air in it. Dried shroomies will last years. *I remember reading somewhere they are good for 5 years, but never put that to the test

900g fresh is more than you know what to with? Why are you growing bulk then?

Don't just put those in a container with damp rid. You need to fan dry them for AT LEAST 24 HOURS before you put them into a container with a desiccant.
After they are dry, you can store them for future use and just not grow anymore for a while. Or be a good friend and give some to your closest pals for a good time

Makes more sense than growing cakes. Cheaper and more efficient, IMO. I would never grow from cakes. And my first yield was so ridiculously small in comparison. I wasn't expecting this many, after just one flush, that's all.

Yeah, I've been drying them in a single layer on a paper towel lined tray under a fan first. The last of my yield is sitting there now, the ones I picked yesterday were dried the same before going above the damprid.

Getting my dick sucked would be great lololol.
I was thinking of giving some away, anyway. Guess this kinda settles that.

Method 1: -Drop a piece of dry ice into a clean, dry jar. -Place cracker dry shrooms in jar. -Wait until the dry ice is almost gone. -Store in a dark place. They will stay good for years.
Method 2: -Vaccuum seal. -will stay good for years.
Your enemies are light, heat, and oxygen. If you limit these three as much as possible, you'll be able to preserve them longer.

Well 900g wet probably isn't a dry QP, so that really isn't that much TBH. Good haul for one tub though 
When I find myself with an abundance of shrooms I make chocolates for personal use and then trade the rest for pot.

Thanks all. I know it's not THAT much but if I'm only taking three grams one day a month...it's a lot for me. Definitely gonna store some and give the bulk of them away.

If you make chocolates and store them in the freezer they will last pretty much indefinitely. If you do chocolates right it should never be heated above 115f so they won't get nearly as hot as they do in the dehydrator.

Well I make my own pot chocolates with coconut oil and keep them in the freezer so I actually already have all the stuff for that.

Nice! Do you extract and decarb your pot in the coconut oil? You know how to temper your chocolates? You need to add some coconut oil to mushroom chocolates anyway. Adding some pot coconut oil would be awesome. I've wanted to make some shroom/sativa chocolates for a while now.

I decarb, then I pressure cook my pot in the coconut oil and some water to clear the taste (in a jar not straight in the pot) and that would be an awesome experiment, I'll have to try it out. I work with chocolate a lot, I'm a pastry chef!

Nice! You could probably teach me a few things. I want to get way better at confectionery. I'm going for my MMJ card and production license soon so I really want to get into this. Do you decarb the straight flower in the oven? The only decarbing experience I have is with cooking RSO in a crock pot, in which case the cannabinoids are extracted into the alcohol and then decarb'd in the crock pot.

1 more thing that I'm doing with the majority of mine is make a tincture with 70% grain alcohol. Pour over powdered mushrooms. Leave and stir occasionally for 24 hours, then strain. Repeat 3 times. Put it all in a container and let it evaporate until desired level. Generally I do 2 grams equals 1 cc, and I just squirt it into a glass of oj or something. Alcohol is a natural preservative and water will extract the actives. You can store in the fridge in syringes for an indefinite amount of time.
Honey is also another preservative, but you can't evaporate it

You ever evaporate that alcohol off and make goo? I'd love it if someone posted a tek on that. I'm gonna try it using the same methods I use to make RSO, being alcohol and a crock pot to evaporate the alcohol. I was gonna use iso because it's cheaper, and I'm pretty sure a crock pot will purge it completely like it does with pot.

I've read a tek here and there, but never tried it. To me it seems like a waste. However I do know that straining the crystallized fats at around 20% will make the goo way cleaner, almost crystalline. You'll see the gross white stuff when it's evaporating. It isn't active from what I know. I've heard you can do a defatting process (I might be wrong) to make it almost pure psilocybin. I believe psilocin can't survive in that form too well due to oxidation.

My friend in Denver has really good goo. A piece the size of a tootsie roll packs about as much punch as an ounce of cubes. Super clean too. He does not make it himself so I have no clue how it's done, but I really like the stuff.

Well from the shit I've accumulated, 70% alcohol is the best at extracting it.
Evaporating it and straining the fats can work even with rubbing alcohol because you are evaporating the whole thing. I actually read somewhere that it's better at making goo. Might give it a shot and report back for ya :P 1 ounce with ever clear and the other with rubbing alcohol. Both at 70%

Please do, and if it comes out good write up a tek
