Hi just wondering on what the best storage methods are, I have been drying my mushrooms then keeping in container with desiccants. Would love to know how long they can last like this when will they start to loose potency and if there’s any better method to keep them potent for longer

I always just double bagged them in zip locks and then put in a mason jar. In the back of my closet. Never had any potency issues ever and I kept mushrooms for over a year in some cases.

A glass container with decissant is probably the best way. Just make sure u dry them 100% before loading the container and those shrooms will ladt a very long time.
Also, vacuum sealing is another good method.

So freezing them or any other methods aren’t really needed then since drying them and keeping them dry is the easiest method then I guess

Yeah myself, I would prefer not to freeze them, because if you lost power for whatever reason for any stretch of time your mushroom supply would be in a lot of danger. I think frozen mushrooms would turn to mushy sludge as it were to thaw. I could be wrong though.
But yeah, bagged (tight) in a mason jar and in a closet or under your bed is all you gotta do.

Mason jar. You can even blacken the jar with paint or clothe or w/e. Keep them in a stable temperature area like the back of the closet etc. Not difficult.

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.

You Vacuum seal with silica gel packets then throw them in the freezer. It's just like anything else you store. It's common sense.. Anyone that tells you the freezer is a bad idea doesn't know what they're talking about..

Damn Shenmue why you gotta come at me like that. I thought we were cool, bruh.

Anyway like I said, I could be wrong. I've read that on here though so I didn't pull that out of thin air. Anyway I don't care, I would never freeze mine anyway.

The whole "don't freeze" is for fresh mushrooms. They turn to mush because the water inside the cells expands as it freezes and splits nearly every cell in the mushroom open. When that happens you're gonna have a bad time. While fungi might have a cell wall like plants do, there is no cellulose to reinforce it.
Freezing them once they're dried is perfectly fine. If one insisted on Freezing them fresh, liquid nitrogen would be fine to get it frozen quickly enough that the water doesn't expand, then they could go into a regular freezer.
It's the same reason steak is never as good if it's frozen in a domestic freezer.
Edit: forgot to add if you're Freezing them dried make sure you've got them in an airtight bag, preferably vacuum sealed to avoid freezer burn in the long-term.

Drying is easiest for long term storage, but with drying, you will always lose some of that fresh magic. So what you need to do is to make tea from your fresh mushrooms then freeze the tea; long term storage of fresh

It is well worth the effort. Back in the day we had a kettle in our recording studio which we'd cram full of mushrooms and make copious amounts of tea, masking the taste with a Milo and instant coffee blend. Crude, but it got the job done. A friend suggested the chocolates to me and Google gave me a good ratio to use so I can't claim any credit, but I will share the love. MUCH more sophisticated than a $20 K-Mart kettle! I've got about 30 chocolates to make tomorrow after a successful day today.

Here's a couple quick quotes to keep you from reading it all

Just like putting a water bottle in the freezer it expands the cells to possible explosion if im assuming correctly lol.
cells are important

When I tried it the immature caps seemed to remain intact after thawing. I guess because they're meant to be able to expand quickly. <-- Thats a TC -phoenix

Guess I'll have to try that myself freeze then eat the shroom popsicle.

It depends on the water content. If the water content of the shroom is lower than usual, say with larger fruits, it should freeze nicely.
Also... shroom tea. get u a couple frozen jugs in the freezer.

Bottles are easy. But ice cube trays, well what can I say?
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
