Yay/Nay? 6 months old dry cubes

Hey all
First post!
Last october/november I grew this batch of cubes in a growbox. Tripped on them a few times back then and that was amazing. The last two flushes I sealed in tupperware along with some silical gel bags after they had air-dried a few days. Have had them in a dark place since then and have only brought them out to adore them visually a few times.
I know that shrooms can pretty much last forever if sealed properly but I'd like a second opinion none-the-less since I'm not very experienced. I did have a quick look around but most posts about contam appears to be about wet mushroom.

flush B:

Peace and love-itations!

GoldenPreacher said: Friend of mine told me about a year after I gave him some shrooms they were still good (he was told by another friend who he gave them to). He stored them in a small open cardboard box. Potency will start to decline after about 6 months if stored with air exposure (that is if the air isn't to humid), but store them in a glass jar with screwlid or rubber band seal and under CO and they will probably still be just as good 10 years from now. To make CO, just combine sodium bicarb with vinegar in a glass, the CO is heavier than air and will stay in the glass until it overflows. When the bubbling stops you can carefully pour the gas, without the liquid of course, in the jar. You can check if it's full by holding a match at the top, if the co starts overflowing it will reach the match and it will go out. Then you just slide over the lid and screw it on. There you go, a shroom supply that will last you 10 years! 
thats some cool shit. then you just pour the CO in the bottle? whats the right ratio of bicarb to vinegar? >D

First time I've heard of CO for storage, but it does make sense, and would technically stop reactions with oxygen.
Although I got some shrooms in a vacuum sealed bag from quite a few years ago going strong, and it has no desiccant or anything, just air tight is all I aim to get with storage.

according to RR, if the bags are not specifically designed for long term, air-tight storage, the plastic lets in air, according to my understanding of it, kind of like how our skin breathes, not because of holes. Of course, the amount in which this happens doesn't necessarily have to be a problem. I think after 5 years in a vacuum sealed bag (with a good quality normal vacuumbag) things would still be just as good if cracker-dry and stored dark. That's just guessing tho.

I used a vacuum sealer because I had tubs of shrooms like this:

And it was just getting ridiculous lol. Jars would have been a very expensive route, and adding co2 to everyone sounds like it would have been a pain.
If you are producing very low amounts, jars and whatnot will be just fine, but I basically got enough for a life time, and I'm very confident keeping them vacuum sealed and away from light will be all good for many more decades.
Also, I remember reading a study done on a liberty cap specimen left in a jar for over 50 years. They measured the levels of psilocin and psilocybin and it had levels comparable to freshly picked libs today. Ofc when you find these things, you have done insane research to find these articles, so I can't ever seem to find the article when I need to lol.

common ziploc bags are made of PE and PE breaths so better to double check your bags before storing a fuckton of shrooms
