Thanks guys, I have been doing exactly that anyway. I just didn't know if there was an alternative that would keep more of the psilo. When they're dry, they lose about 25-50% of their original potency? I was imagining pickling them, or putting them in a preservative haha. Sorry, just wanting more of the goods

For dried mushrooms, multiply psilocin content by: This is exactly the same as the psilocybin input box, only it changes the deterioration rate of psilocin. Unlike its more stable cousin, psilocin tends to break down pretty quickly no matter how careful you are about preserving your mushrooms. ".5" is the default, and unless you freeze-dry your mushrooms and store them with an industrial grade vacuum packager, you'll probably want to leave it where it is.

Will you be eating fresh or dried mushrooms? Well, which kind will you be eating? If you select "dried", the Calculator applies the deterioration values to the psilocybin and psilocin content of the mushroom and compensates for the change in weight due to dehydration. Mushrooms are ~90% water when fresh, which means there will be a big difference between how much dry mushroom material and how much wet mushroom material you'll have to eat to achieve the same trip level.

Honey is great for preserving libs, If you keep them in cool and in the dark they'll be good for years.

Wow, never even thought of that!

Going to give that a go for sure.

Yeah, the strength remains almost exactly the same wet or dry.

And you just have the two chemicals a little backwards. Psilocin in the more fragile of the two chemicals and it is converted to psilocybin in your stomach and when you dry the mushrooms.

Actually, I believe you have it backwards. Yes, psilocin is far less stable, but the conversion is actually psilocybin into psilocin. Psilocin = what makes you trip face.

Also, just my two cents, as long as your drying process is good, potency loss is miniscule and not even noticeable. Mad love and have fun with them libs. NEVER had the opportunity to try them.
