Ok good to know! Yes I use a dehydrator until they are cracker dry! Also do they need to cool off before I vacuum seal? Also will the desiccant packet be harmful if it touches the shrooms? I know there are some foods like beef jerky that contain packets that actually touch the jerky or does that depend on the packet?

only reason you "cant eat" desiccant packs is b/c they're a "choking hazard", if you ate the silica you'd be fine.. it wouldn't dry you out from the inside.

silica is basically sand iirc. Not poisonous as for sealing them hot probably wont matter but I doubt it would absorb much water if you let it cooldown. If it is sealed while still hot all I imagine would happen is the sealed bag may pull more vacuum as iit cools.

Well, that and silica is toxic.

Silica is an additive in food products as an anticaking agent surely youd need to eat a fuck load to get poisoning

and i get PMs and people wondering why i wrote this damn thing
why are people over complicating something so fucking basic. you dry them with high heat and quickly as you can so the actives do not degrade. once they are 100% cracker dry the actives will stay active for a loooooong time.
ive eaten shrooms that i dried and stored ranging from a few days after drying to a few months. i gave a buddy of mine some dried shrooms that i had from maybe 7 or 8 years ago.
he said they worked juuuust fine.
the only time ive ever had issues with storage/fucked up shrooms was when i gave this guy fresh shrooms to eat but he put them in a ziplock and stashed them in his car for a 3hrs while he was in the movies on at 110f day. the mushrooms basically melted and turned to shroomjelly and he tried to say it was because i gave him moldy shrooms. and i should of fan dried them.
nigga plz.

 water isn't even entirely benign...just dont drink alot without pissing and you're good. "It's the dose that makes the poison" you can eat a bit of silica without any problems. http://www.medicaldaily.com/water-intoxication-just-how-much-h2o-does-it-take-kill-person-312958

Behold, the predicted Resurrection.
No, the pacs won't help.
Yes, the sealed bags will not let moisture in.
Yes, you have to use the specific bags.
No, you cannot use ziplocs.

Okay, if the mushrooms go straight from the dehydrator to a sealed environment with no air and no chance for air to get in, the pacs will not help regulate moisture that is already absent.

Yah, you guys are right about silica being non toxic, I looked at that link too hastily and didn't realize it was talking about silicone.
Ime ziplocks do not work, I have no link on it, but they just don't. They seal okay, but no vacuum gets pulled on them and they are thin enough to allow air to permeate over time anyway. The vacuum sealer bags are not expensive, especially compared to what you're putting in them, don't be cheap to try to save literally 5$ while risking hundreds or even thousands of dollars of product.

my vacuum is a ziplock bag and a straw with a polyfil filter and i suck the air out.
but i really need a vacuum sealer.
anyone growing over a few dried oz is going to need one at some point. mushrooms tend to pile up quick.

Guys, I was responding to this specific question about ziplocs. I was saying that they cannot be used in a vacuum sealer.

Ha! You know its funny I do this too, I suck the air out and impulse seal. Actually, I doubt you could tell the difference between mine and one done with a proper vacuum. Its only practical on small bags
