Have my mushrooms expired???

Last night I took 2 grams of home grown P Cubes that have been fully dried and stored in a baggie which was in a tightly sealed tupper ware box under my bed. They've just been chilling there for the past month and a half. I haven't done any psychedelics for about 2 months prior to last night yet I got no effects AT ALL, I kind of experienced some come up symptoms like lethargy, yawning and feeling cold like I usually do but nothing happened and Idk why. Could my mushrooms have lost all their potency for some unaccounted factor because I really don't see why this happened. Does anyone have any ideas or had this happen to them?
I have tripped of this batch of mushrooms several times before so they were good mushies.
THANKS IN ADVANCE

MS genetics you just got unlucky and dosed some weaker mushrooms in the batch IMO.

I dried them with a fan for 24 hours until they were cracker dry.

You didn't have two dried grams because you can't get mushrooms cracker dry with just a fan :-(.
Do some googling on the subject.

cracker dry is when you just barely bend the stem, the stem will snap in half. fan dry will get them dry but it won't remove all moisture from the mushrooms from my experience.

Fan dry for 24 hours or until they snap when bent (the bigger the mushroom the longer it takes for them to dry). Then put in desiccant chamber for another 12-24 hours. This 2nd drying method ensures that they are infact fully dry or "cracker dry". If you want... prior to fan drying take wet mushrooms and slit them down the middle with a knife/razor blade just to make sure all moisture escapes during drying process.
Mushrooms should last a solid couple years if fully fried. Take "cracker dry" mushrooms and place inside ziplock bag containing a few silica gel packets. Then place ziplock bag containing mushrooms in a mason jar. Then place mason jar containing your mushrooms in a cool, dry, dark place. Moisture, air, and lighting will degrade potency.

Hard to get the cracker dry from a fan. Never bothered to make em cracker dry myself. Definately didn't lose much potency after 6 weeks tho...
One thing i know for sure is that semi-cracker-dry cubes stored in mason jars for 10 years are no longer potent. just learnt that recently.
that's why im back on the shroomery after so long. reading about new methods, you know...

I think the desiccant chamber is a must. It's hard to say why they weren't as potent as the others but if the drying and storing process is done correctly you can at least rule that off. Just my 2ยข

Ok I'm pretty sure my shrooms are dead. I made tea with about 3.7 grams and i followed the recipe from here and once again I got no effects at all, not even a come up or anything. After about 2 hours of drinking the tea I did experience a noticable mood lift and I was actually laughing at the film I was watching but I think that may just have been a placebo.

Did you grow or hunt your shrooms?

I have been chomping on some mushies I had vaccuum sealed for a year. They are still incredibly potent. I ate .2g to microdose and I could even feel that. They are not even 100% cracker dry.
Not sure if any of this helps, but looks like vacuum sealing it works in my case

You're eating them way too soon. Even if they still have some bit of actives left you won't feel it because you're tolerance is pretty high at this point.

If he's not getting much of anything beyond threshold, I doubt he's developed much of any tolerance at all.
I've had full on/immersive trips one day, then trip again the next day or two days later with not much of a higher dose and still trip just fine. (at least in regards to mushrooms specifically). I just did this this week, tripped Wednesday night on L then two nights later tripped on mushrooms....There was likely some tolerance but no where near enough to be all that noticeable...I was actually much higher that 2nd night I tripped.
If he's not even tripping or getting much beyond threshold from those previous attempts, tolerance should not be an issue.
In regards to the OP....I've ate mushrooms that I picked over a year ago before and they still did the trick (likely some potency loss, but not enough to be very noticeable). They were fan dried for about 24 hours, then I placed some dried magnesium sulfate in the bags they're in, and they sit in a dark & room temp spot.
