oxidation prevention

It seems to me that the best way to dry is with color change silica gel dessicant. I got about three lbs online a while back. It's cheaper in bulk. I think it works faster and better than calcium chloride. It is a pretty blue color. When it is fully saturated with moisture, it turns pink. You recharge it in an oven or micro. I think it pulls more water out of the air than damp-rid.
Afterward, I think this would be good to exclude oxygen:

It's nothing but pure nitrogen. You squirt some in an opened bottle of wine to form a layer of N2 on the surface. For dry storage, put your stuph in a ziplok, squeeze all the air out, then inflate with the N2 with a bit of air space at the top to make sure the stuph is under the N2.

nitrogen will work but it's an added cost...

if you fan/dehumidifier dry them and then add the silica gel in small packets you'll not have to worry about nitrogen.

Its amazing just how much further you can go with a dessicant after fanning though.

You know, one of our Shroomery sponsors carries oxygen absorbing packets...I toss one in with a desiccant packet when vacuum sealing goodies for storage or in vials with crystalline or powder substances. Best way to preserve the magic, IMO.

Dry ice will evaporate and remove the oxygen from an undisturbed container. Its much cheaper than nitrogen.
