Oh and to prevent potential potency loss through oxidation, seal the ice cubes in airtight bags or containers.

Dry for 24 hours at 160°F. Buy the smaller vacuum seal bags and vacuum seal a 4 or 5 gram dose with a few silica packets. Once its vacuum sealed put it into another small bag and vacuum seal it again. That way you know it's not going to leak in the freezer. You do that with each 4 or 5 gram dose. So if you have 80 grams dry you'll have 20 small bags of mushrooms in the freezer. Whenever you want to trip all you have to do is take one of those bags out of the freezer. They'll last for year's.. In my opinion this is one of the best ways to keep your mushrooms potent for years. It takes a lot of work but it's worth it in the end. Do what you want...

Work out the strength of your tea by drying some of the flush to work out the water content. Weigh fresh mushrooms that go into your tea. Multiply by water loss, that’s your equivalent dried strength of the tea. Once all in ice cube trays, divide total dry weight by number of ice cubes. That’s the dry dose per ice cube. Seriously easy. Seriously consistent. Seriously convenient. Seriously FRESH

When making your guys tea what’s the method there do yous add any thing for the flavour, I’ve only ever eaten dry mushrooms before and taste isn’t the best, I always feel like it tastes like dirt with a slight mushroom taste to it

I use lemon juice in the tea to increase the bioavailability. You then have choices. Thaw and derink, then rinse with orange juice. Or blend into a pina colada smoothie

Place a mixing bowl in a pan of simmering water, let 4 pieces of Yorkie Bar melt in the bowl (5th piece is for the cook while it melts). Mix in the powdered dose then spoon out into a silicone fairy cake case.
The Bain Marie method can't scorch the chocolate which helps if prepping while drunk. In the UK, three Yorkie Bars for a quid from supermarkets.
Shrooms are stored in a sealed jar with desiccant, dose is crushed then powdered in a manual burr coffee grinder.

BreakingBricks said: I dry mine in a dehydrator at 58 degrees for 6+ hours (often overnight) then make chocolates with them. I powder the shrooms with a mortar and pestle then melt 9g of chocolate for every gram of powdered shrooms and mix them together. I have individual silicone moulds (unicorn shaped) and put 10g of the melted mixture into each and stick them in a container in the freezer. That way there is always ready to consume pre-measured doses ready to go. If I just want to get gooey I eat one, if I want to kiss the sky I eat 3 or so. My wife likes eating a half unicorn from time to time, rarely goes above one. We always know how much we're getting. I'll usually blend 3 days of picking together for better consistency with potency, too (no unexpected big whacks or insufficient little ones). They'll just about last forever like this.
While I'm waiting for a few harvests I keep the dried shrooms in a jar with some desiccant pouches.
Thanks for this I've screenshot and definitely going to try this method
