Long term storage/packaging * 1
    #26598694 - 04/13/20 06:31 PM (4 years, 9 months ago)

A user on Reddit (Uber_kek) came up with some great concept ideas for “Dispensary packaging” for mushrooms. My mind immediately went to organizing harvests for future tea times.





I would love to hear what you all think about something like this. Also if I’m posting in the wrong area please let me know, I’m still fairly new.

I like the concept but the dealers choice part looks disgusting

Window wouldnt work. Sunlight and all. Best to keep mushrooms dark and dry.

Indeed it is. I just wish my labeling technique was that good. I’m more of a sharpie on tape kind of person

Why? I think its kind of cool. Makes it look like a recreational weed dispensary, only for shrooms.

Would be Perfect for :dealershrooms:

Its definitely an interesting idea. Im thinking fill those bags with nitrogen, seal up the dried shrooms inside, should last a looooong time in there.

I personally enjoy using them in all sizes and have not found the "window" to be an issue, whatsoever. A 1g desiccant packet and they stay nice and dry and fresh. Just don't get it wet or leave it out in the sun and it's a blast. Lasts as long as you want it to, IME.

I like the iridescence as it adds a little "trippy" aesthetic to it.

Might have to get some.

Do those bags seal shut with glue or something above the zipper?


Also I’m sure it’s been pointed out but the gt bag has a typo.

I have a feeling it's on it's way, since three counties have decriminalized them. Packaging/branding has certainly been on my mind as of late! For now, double freezer bags plus a homemade desiccant pack.

Has anyone tested mylar bags to see how breathable they are? If the mushrooms take on moisture? I've kept weed in them, and it stays fine for a while, but idk if weed takes on moisture like mushies do.

They seal by heat like from an iron or a fancy mylar bag press

lol That was my point, too. :mushroom2:

That said, I long for the day when the innocuous choice to grow and consume my own personal use mushrooms doesn't make the DEA automatically see me as Walter White and Jessie Pinkman. I know it sounds nucking futs, but am I the only one seriously concerned that, according to the DEA, we would basically all be considered Walter White just for growing personal shrooms? 

Draconian fucking laws. **eyeroll**

I was actually going to do a forum search or start a thread about this, but I love your bag of what I assume are 00 capsules of powdered shrooms? My question is do you know about how much shrooms are in each capsule? I am going to assume, with pressing down on them to pack them down on the capsule machine, that you are probably getting 0.5 grams per 00 capsule?

I have a 24 capsule machine I have been using for decades to encapsulate my own supplements, like Tongkat Ali, Yohimbe, and a few others I buy in powdered form. If I remember correctly, powdered Tonkgat Ali extract yields me about 0.5 grams per 00 capsule, when I use that capsule packer a few times with moderate, downward pressure. Problem is, different powders have different densities.

Note: I will test this myself when the time comes and I decide to toss a crapload of my dried shrooms into my coffee grinder, weigh and tare my 00 capsules, and figure out the exact number for dosing.

I actually have another question at least tangentially related to storage, and I didn't want to start a thread about this. While perusing some of the archival threads in this forum, I just read that when you see black caps that you should set them aside, because they are extremely potent.

The problem is that I didn't do this so far. I mixed all my shrooms together, and just tossed them right into the food dehydrator, and into mason jars with dessicants for storage. Did I screw up? LMAO I think the last thing I want is to take, say a 2.5 gram dose of dry expecting a mild to moderate trip, only to get body-slammed by the universe because I didn't know some of the shrooms mixed in were dried from black caps. Although, I will admit the thought is a tad comical.

Black caps?  Never heard of that, are you sure they are not just spores from harvesting late?  As far as variability of potency, that is one of the major benefits of grinding them up and putting them in gel caps.  Everything gets mixed together and is the same potency cap to cap.

Those look like '000' gel caps.  You get them empty at health food stores or online.  I personally use '00' which are slightly smaller.
