How to store fresh mushrooms, and also questions on pins *PICS*
    #23393043 - 06/29/16 04:25 AM (7 years, 7 months ago)

Ok so I finally after about a month and a week got some results on my first three cakes. Now I just harvested two mushies that weigh 15.7g wet, and I want to store them until the other cake is ready for harvest to consume them when fresh. Iv never done so and really want to eat em fresh and not dry like every other time. So in people's opinions what would be the best way to keep them healthy and keep potentcy. I have them in a glad wear container in my mini fridge. Is that fine?
    Now also the cake I just harvested the two mush from have about 20 pins on them and are just not growing much or at all anymore. The pins on my other cakes are doing just fine, so I wonder what makes this cake different? Is it bc the mycelium had maturing fruits and was focusing on the growth of them so was giving minimum nutrients to these 20 pins? I'm just frustrated that I have a potential 20 mushrooms to grow off this cake! Moisture is very strong and healthy in the chamber, and the cakes get plenty of misting. Should I try to rehydrate the cake by putting water in the upside down lid that I'm using instead of tin foil? Like about a 1/4" of water in the lid with some vermiculite in the water and have the cake in it for about 2hrs or less? I know that could cause aborts, but it could rehydrate it without dunking the cake for hours and REALLY get a lot of aborts. So any more experienced growers that have knowledge on both my issues that could reassure me and enlighten me would be very appreciated! Thanks all!




In this pic you can see the pins I talk about the best, and they have been like that since the fruits were very large pins



This is just from 6hrs later they opened and the one grew another 1/2".



These are baby fruits that are growing very fast and hoping the four of them will be ready for harvest by tomorrow morning, so I will have at least 30+ some grams of wet mush to take!

Closed containers are a no-no for fresh fungal matter. Paper bag in the fridge is best. For potency your best bet would be drying because the longer they sit, the more actives break down. They should be good for a few days though in a paper bag in a fridge.

Those pins you are worried about seem aborted to me, I reckon they won't be growing anymore.

Damn that blows so many aborts :frown:. So no glad wear then ok I will put them in a more open porous container. What would be the best but yet CHEAPEST way of drying, bc I  strapped for cash broke as shit. But I have a standing fan. What could I do with that?

Use it to cool yourself down during the summer. Use an oven to dry your shrooms. If your oven is not fan assisted, point the fan toward the slightly open oven door. Look for teks on how to dry shrooms in ovens, works just as good as a dehydrator, just gotta babysit it a bit more.

Yea thats difficult bc I live in a home that has other ppl living in it. Its like a recovery house but isn't we have our own rooms and like I said its not a recovery house. So me doing that and other ppl coming in the kitchen which is shared would be like wtf are you doing?? Lol and I dont need them knowing that I have shrooms drying in the oven. So idk that might be out of the question, plus ppl.work 2nd and 3rd shift so ppl will be jp at all times of the night so I can't even do that at night time :/

Yea I know but I have privacy. Its just using the oven to dry them wouldnt be good. What's that chemical ppl buys that's real cheap that they put into a bucket with mesh to dry them?

So then what's a good way to dry them with  no oven. That is possiblely out of things I cannot do. Once again I have a standing fan, so thats something that can be used. I really want to eat them fresh. I have a scale and the two shrooms I have way 15.7g. So lile 1.5 dry and I want to eat about 30+g wet shrooms. So what's the best way to preserve them until the other ones are ready

best way to preserve it to dry them. got a hair dryer and a box? make a make shift dehydrator, i guess. idk.. you really cant scrape together 30 bucks? because if you continue to grow, then a dehydrator is going to be a huge help.

or, if you think the other mushrooms will be ready in a day or tow, just put the fresh ones in a paper bag and stick them in the fridge.

A fan will not get your shrooms cracker dry, it is basically useless for drying shrooms unless you are using it for oven drying.

Honestly, I have no idea. There is only 1 reliable way to dry shrooms and that's with heat and air circulation. A dehydrator or an oven is your best bet.

Alternatively, you can try a piece of foil over a bedside lamp and put your shrooms on the foil. The bulb will create heat and the foil will act as a heatsink, drying the shrooms. I have never tried this but I heard it's a semi reliable way to dry a small amount of shrooms at a time.

agreed, bottom line, the only 100% reliable way is to get a dehydrator. and second most reliable is oven with fan.

Until I got a dehydrator, I used a foil grilling pan (has slots and raised channels and put it on top of my amplifier  :p

Those are good ideas. I have four fruits that will be mature tomorrow so I can take my total fruits fresh since I havnt eaten em fresh before, but I'm eventually going to have to figure a way out. I wish I could sun dry then
