Preserving? Mason jar, cracker dry, desiccant packs?

My mushrooms are cracker dry, and I have stored them in mason jars with desiccant packs in a cupboard where no light gets into. Is that sufficient enough to preserve and store them and how long will they last like this? Or do am I wrong and need to do something different?

They'll continue to oxidize as long as they're in contact with oxygen. Anything past a few months and you'll want to start looking into vacuum sealing or storing them submerged in honey.

If you are really worried you can drop in Oxygen-Absorbing Packets. These are what they stick in Beef Jerky bags.

Always cracker dry, always dried with a dehydrator. Vaccume sealer if you actually plan on storing long term. You can get them for so cheap and they work really well, also is satisfying to use! Amazon.

So it's required that I need to vacuum seal them then? Won't that break and crack them all up since it's very cracker dry...?

Yes this is fine. I’ve kept them like this for at least two years with minimal loss of potency, as long as they are fully cracker dry first.

There's nothing wrong with broken cubes as long as they aren't stored in air. Having smaller pieces makes them easier to weigh out for dosing.

Even with being cracker dry, ground up and packed in capsules, stored in mason jars and desiccant packs in the freezer, I noticed a little drop in potency at around 9 months. Presumably from the oxygen breaking things down
Add these to the mix and according to more experienced people than me, they'll last years without losing a thing

You can store them indefinitely in mason jars w desiccant packs as long as they are cracker dry. They will last years like this.
If you get a vacuum sealer, try to get one with a manual seal function so you can stop vacuuming and start sealing when you want. This will prevent major breakage.

Fuck man I was hoping my shrooms would be good for months.
I got them vacuum sealed inside of an "water/fire proof safe" but the shrooms keep poking holes in the bags and the suck up air making it pointless...

There’s a storage thread. Mason jars>vacuum bags. It is known.

Yes mason jars with desiccant packs.
This is the way.
I was shocked how bad vacuum bags did in that test.

Yeah but better than going bad. Plus here’s almost a qp of penis envy with room to spare, if I took the bags out and really packed them in I bet a half pound no prob.

After seeing that test thread I went and got half gallons for storage. I was just about to get a vacuum sealer too it was great timing.

But only PE though. Even more with blobs. Got a jar with 130g, no packing necessary.
With GT I remember it was always right around 2 oz. Any more packing and mushrooms snapped.

Yeah if you have medium to bigger ones you’ll have to break them which I don’t mind really. I have another jar with prob 4.5-5 ounces of maz and gt but they’re packed in and probably 70% of them are really small anyways.
Dude with PE blobs you could fit so many. And they’re so strong. A full jar would last me a loooong time.
Even some of my regular looking PE that were a certain phenotype dried out like rocks. Prob had some extra mutant in them but it’s so nice when there’s absolutely no extra space in the dried shroom.

I gave you the best answer. If you want to take the cheaper lazier method, go right ahead. No they dont breakx You'll hear them crack but rest assured the mushrooms dont get injured. Once they're dried they can't actually feel pin anymore... ? Lol I seal them, 1/2 pound dry per bag weekly. Proper mate

I'll keep saying it, zippy lock bags are crap for preserving things and were never really intended for it. They are just convenient containers for holding a sandwich or something.
I use half-gallon masons with desiccant and oxygen absorber packets. Some are amber to block light too. I would have gone with all amber but they are three times the cost of clear.
There are also gallon jars available with metal lids from bottle suppliers.

I use cheap wal-mart brand vacuum bags. I just hit vacuum until I start to hear a crunch and then manual seal. No more hard shroom peices poking holes through the plastic.
