Are vacuum sealers worth it? Or are ziplock bags just as good?

I have a vacuum sealer machine, but I've never used it for mushrooms. I am thinking the mushrooms will get crushed, but it looks more professional if you have it sealed rather than a simply baggy. But will it preserve longer? Is there any evidence that vacuum sealing improves storage?

Vacuum sealers all the way broski. I Ziploc an oz at a time and vacuum the rest for later I don't vacuum all the way tho. Just until they're almost breaking xD to keep the contents intact.
The sealer I got was free too. Sometimes having a Horder mother in law has its advantages.

I vacuum seal my shrooms. They get crushed, but so what. Speaking for myself, I am more interested in preserving the potency than the aesthetics. I ate some vacuum-sealed shrooms that had been in storage for over a year, and they still kicked like a sensei.

I believe it lol. I read a study that some 50+ year old libs stored airtight were still as potent as some fresh specimens. Actually I've been known to grind and seal the powder too, but yeah I'm too neat and loving to just crush my babies D:

Do you guys just buy rolls or are there specific bag sizes that work well? Like how many grams or ounces does a "quart" bag contain, typically? (Are there even smaller ones?) I've never used the rolls before, you just heat seal them on either side, I guess?
