Stored mushrooms - question.

What's up my beautiful people? Gotta quick question/concern for you guys. Few months ago I stored some mushrooms in a mason jar with two dry packets. Just today I harvested some more off of my new shoeboxes. Dehydrated them for about 12 hours - they're defiantly dry.
My question is - I was messing around with my older mushrooms and they're almost like a "soft" dry. They don't crumble much, it's hard to explain. I've got two dry packets in the jar, and I do believe I dried them correctly. But the reason it raised concern was because of the new batch of mushrooms I just stored crumble easily.
Not sure if it's because I just took them out of the dehydrator today.. or if because my other mushrooms in the other jar are not dried completely. Is it normal for stored mushrooms to almost become a "soft" dry other than cracker dry over time?
Hopefully some of you know what I'm talking about - because it is a bit difficult to explain. Just in my head about this and was wondering if anyone could validate for me.
Thanks ahead of time
- Vibe

think so? I just took a dose out of that jar two days ago and the trip was fairly weak. Wonder if they're losing potency or i just grabbed some weak mushrooms. hopefully I didn't fuck up that whole jar. Like 80g in there Is it frowned upon to re-dry them?

Once potency is lost, You aren't getting it back with more drying.

I'm not so much saying get it back, moreso trying to keep what's still in there. I'm not even sure if the potency has been lost - it may have just been weak mushrooms I picked out of the batch.
But they're definitely not cracker dry. Pretty soft but seem "dry". Idk how else to explain it lol.

But you can keep it from getting worse, by drying them again. Iv had the same issue before I just dried them again and they were ok.

Yeah that's what I'm going to do - figured it wouldn't hurt too much to throw them back in there.
They should always be able to crumble regardless of how long stored in the jar?

For sure. Will get to that when I have time. Re-drying them now at least because I did make a shit ton of tea today from fruits I harvested (i love tea made from fresh mush) - def hits differently.
