What to do with excess truffles
#21958812 - 07/18/15 12:08 AM (8 years, 6 months ago) |

I recently made a topic about the truffles i had ordered..
I ordered 10 15G packs, the sender ended up sending the order twice. So i have 20 15G packages of atlantis truffles.
Two were modly, so I threw them out..People say wait about a week in between trips, I work 2-11 almost every day, but I happened to take off the 21st-26th off this coming week..I didn't plan on having the truffles, I didn't think they would come to be honest.
Heres my pickle, people say they are good for weeks in the packages, they are vacuum sealed. I have them in the fridge right now. I don't want to waste the magic of them by taking them too often, is there any way to keep them longer?
I may take 15G and smoke come caapi on the comeup on monday, and take more later on in the week.
I just don't want to waste them, since they did come, and i have roughly 15 trips to get out of them, thats give or take 4 months worth of trips a week apart.
My sister, who got me into psychedelics is going to get some, we may go camping tues-fri, I told her how much I had, how much it cost me, and I am willing to just give her some if she will use them.
Is the freezer a better bet, then defrost and take as usual when I want to trip to prolong the shelf life of these?
It took a little under a month to get them after I sent the money through bank transfer, and about 2 and half weeks for them to reach me after they were shipped. That will give a estimate on how "fresh" they are. They are wet, not dried ones.
I will also be smoking some high grade weed when tripping, today was my first day I did not smoke in about two months, I smoked too much the last couple months, a total of 2 and 1/2 oz. I have 1/2 oz left, but don't want to keep smoking and not have any for when I will really want it, when im tripping.
I am also happy to say, I think I can give up the "shroom like" drugs, anything that would make you trip that was easily obtained, lsa, laa(lsh), mescaline, the red shroom whatever its called, but I would like to mabey try the last of my dmt extract I had over this winter with these shrooms, I tossed my lsa extract, I would say i had atleast 50+ doses, I did a extract on 1000 hwbr seeds and only tripped three times off of it, and hated every one of them. the LAA(LSH), severe breathing constriction, a ego-death moment I would say.

Why don't you dry them, fan dry for 24-48 hours then buy some calcium chloride (dampRid) and wait til theyre cracker dry and freeze them. you'll get 6 months at least then.

As the above poster stated. Dry them for long term storage. They will get hard, but you can grind them up and put them in a tea/beverage easily. I would not put any mushroom or sclerotia in the refrigerator except in a paper bag.

I'll third drying them. I'm also pretty sure you can rehydrate truffles pretty easily after you dry them for long term storage.
Another way you could preserve the goodies is to make a GIANT batch of tea, and just freeze whatever you're not using. There's a few members on here that make tea and just freeze it for later. I don't really know how to make truffle tea, though I bet you could find a good tek on it somewhere.
Also, by "shroom-like" drugs I think you mean psychedelics I would agree with quite a few of the drugs you said you'd give up. I still want to try mescaline again, and at a good dosage.
Also, breathing constriction doesn't sound like ego death, it sounds like straight up death

You could put them in the freezer, that should store them indefinately They might turn to sludge because of lysis, but keep clean and potent

yeah but four months is not long term storage for fresh stones 
paper bag -> fridge

The vacuum-sealed stuff is sold in Dutch smart shops with use-by dates of maybe 3 months, by the end of that time they might look a bit sweaty in the pack but are still edible - but that kind of shelf life assumes they've been maintained at refrigerated temperatures.
I don't know how long your packs will keep in the fridge, but I'd guess they might be a bit unappetizing (slightly blackened and a bit slimy, if not actually mouldy) after 4 months, so I think it might be worth drying or freezing at least some of them as per previous suggestions.

Alright guys, I guess the votes in..I'll leave them on fridge until they mold!
Just kidding, after 3 days in dark part of fridge I noticed three more bags with mold, down to 15. I'll trip tonight..first chance I have had without work interfering.
I put 5 back into fridge, I am going to heat dry the rest I'm thinking putting them in the oven, or leaving them in my car this afternoon to quick dry them out, I did this with fresh bud that was still a little wet and sticky, after 4 hours in the car it was dry and crumbled under pressure.
I'll let you guys know what I do, does anyone know the weight from wet to dry for truffle? If I put them in my car I'll leave them in bottom part of the bag so I don't take way too much

Do not use either of those methods to dry them. Get a dehydrator or fan dry them and then finish with desiccant. The search function on this site discusses techniques at lengths in older threads. Not sure why you insist on storing them in the fridge in plastic while bag after bag continues to mold.....

Dryin in the oven is fine, just be sure to have is set to the lowest temperature possible and to have the oven door cracked for airflow.
It'll work, not as good as a dehydrator, but bettr than fanning them for 4 or 5 days.

No airflow in an oven....
I guess if you have your heart set on it you could open the door and throw a box fan in front of it.

In the Shroomery Sclerotia FAQ it says that sclerotia are roughly 70% water, so if 10g of fresh sclerotia are completely dried, then in theory you should be left with around 3g of dried material.
To convert from fresh to dry weight just divide by 3.33 or vice versa.

sure for convection cooking. It's not the same as a dehydrator.
I am just telling the guy to buy a cheap dehydrator if he want the best results. I'm not looking to rustle anyone jimmies.

Dehydrators work better and faster IME, but I've used an oven when I didn't have one. And it worked fine. The mushrooms did look kinda burnt, but they were still potent. And that got them cracker dry.

Well I left 10 of the 15g bags in my hot car for 6 hours, car smelt of shrooms, they are still a little wet, but you can tell they dried up a bit, will weigh later tonight, may put oven on low, and leave oven door open for ventilation tonight. I'm hoping I was able to salvage as much as possible after having 5 of the bags get moldy

Try this Just store left over truffles in everclear, they won't rot and they give an extra bang from the everclear Just remember the everclear becomes hallucinogenic too so just barely put enough in a container to cover with Everclear about eighth of an inch and store it in the fridge I make shroom tea the same way but I use dry powderd shrooms and strain them before drinking the everclear

May have been one of the worst things to do. Stale air with the sun beating down for six hours out in the open?
Listen to Achillita, me or anyone else that has recommended good choices. You have abused these things a lot and really want to dry them as fast as physically possible. Don't waste the rest that haven't molded mang.

For me to grow. Like 30$ in Rye Berries maybe. For you to purchase in whatever country you could legally buy them in. A lot more than that. A lot more. 15 oz? is 425 grams mang.
He doesn't have that much though. I believe he only put 150 grams in the car. Had 300grams initially and lost some to mold already.
