Is this the best way to store mushrooms long term?
    #26517723 - 03/04/20 11:31 PM (3 years, 10 months ago)

Okay, I really need some help...

Basically I got a lot of cubes I need to store for long term purposes.

I will break down exactly the steps I took

  • Picked mushrooms put inside dehydrator and ran it for 24 hours until all fruits were cracker dry
  • Next I coffee grinded them all up into dust
  • Next I got the cryovac (vacuum seal) machine and put my mushrooms at the bottom and two large desiccate packs at the top but close enough to the mushrooms
  • I will put in the fridge out of sunlight around 1 degrees for long term


Is this a good method to store the mushrooms for 5 + years?

I got a picture of the finished product, I presumed this would be equally as good as mason jars if not better since 99.9% of the oxygen is actually removed from the environment straight away.

Can someone please confirm, thanks!

Contamination forum probably is not the right place for this question so you will struggle to get answers here.

The general consensus is that you don't want to grind shrooms up for long term storage because it massively increases surface area thus increasing oxidation speed and therefore potentially speeding up potency loss. However, in some cases it can reduce the physical space requirements.


Vacuum packing is always a good approach for long term storage, but i'm not sure how will powdering them first affect this(my hunch is either neutral or negative impact).

I wouldn't sweat it to much. I powdered my shrooms, vacuum packed it in plastic bags and stored in the freezer now for 19 years. I would say they've lost about half of their potency. But still fun to take.
