Maximum preservation
    #22266358 - 09/20/15 06:33 PM (8 years, 4 months ago)

Hi, I want to preserve what I have (dried mushrooms) as long as possible with maximum potency. Should I keep in plastic bags in the freezer or fridge? Grind up and mix with honey? Vacuum seal?

I know the basics (keep away from heat & moisture)

Thank you for your time!

Heat, Light, Moisture,and Oxygen are the 4 killers of potency so just dry them cracker dry, put them in a bag and suck the air out then throw them in the freezer. I also throw a silica packet in with them!

Vacuum seal with desiccant packs inside, or store them in Mason jars for maximum preservation.

Cracker dry, put in ziplock bags, put inside a bigger ziplock bag with desiccant packets, put inside a big paper bag has kept mine active for over a year in a humid climate.

Dry time seems to be the biggest factor.  If you have a dehydrator crank it up to 165 if you can.

You could easily store it for 10+ years in a vacuum sealed bag or Mason jar.
