Preserving Mushrooms
    #26553954 - 03/23/20 08:38 PM (3 years, 10 months ago)

What would be the best way to preserve a mushroom to keep it as looking as fresh as possible? I am not looking to eat it just want to have it as an ornament.

?? Dry them and put them in a jar?

If you want an ornament go buy baby Bella’s from the grocery store. Dry them and put them in a “decorative” jelly jar. This is a stupid question to start a thread about :facepalm:

I've also seen nuggets dipped in gold. Maybe it's possible to do that.

Oh you mean cannabis buds? Gold would probably preserve anything and if OP just wants and ornament it may be a good idea. The whole idea of growing mushrooms just to display them like a decorative pillow sounds dumb af to me but to each their own.

Gold plated kush sounds cool as hell either way :rofl2:

LOL yeah the op said he wants it for an ornament or a little triple
cluster as a small pendant would be sweet. Mushrooms don't have much
of a texture so I'd experiment with a small specimen and some acrylic
to see if it lasts or rots or something.

Yeah the bud was sweet looking lol

Well no matter what the fruit will rot inside of the gold plating, but as long as you plate it while it’s in shape it doesn’t matter. Gold is soft as fuck so if it gets really hot, say desert summer, then it may disfigure but OP doesn’t understand that it would just be easier and probably cheaper to have a jeweler make him a mushroom ornament 😂

You can use a jar or really anything you feel like, maybe even make up your own mold of whatever shape. make sure your mushies are cracker dry to prevent rotting and use clear epoxy resin.
Youll also want a heat gun to get the bubbles out from the pour, makes em rise n pop

I actually saw it done on here awhile back someone made a cool little neckace, just do a little research on workin with epoxy first if youve never done it. Theres tons if cool chit you can do with it

Seems like if you’re not gonna dry if first you’d have to soak it in preservative then clear coat it really well.

There was somebody like a month or so ago that put a fresh one in a glass tube filled with some liquid to use as a paper weight or something. Looked perfectly preserved in his post, not sure if it held up but I don’t see why not.

Crazy I just did an update for that in the potd thread. Actually though, I didnt put the
mushroom in the bottle. I placed the bottle over a pin and let it mature in the bottle.

The cap is much bigger than the bottle opening.

Lol I just saw that! Crazy.

Yeah I forgot how big the cap is, letting it grow in was smart.

It looks like it’s held up well in that newer pic you put up.
