Bad storage of finds, potential potency problems?
    #26705750 - 05/29/20 09:01 PM (3 years, 7 months ago)

Hey everyone,
I wasn't sure where to post this so I hope here is ok...

I recently had two hunting trips for psilocybe subaeruginosa that went OK (melbourne, aus). But I was a bit lazy and didn't dry them immediately just threw them straight in the freezer. A few days after the second hunt i let them thaw in a colander over a bowl. Once thawed and thankfully not a complete paste i rinsed a bit of water over them, then dried them. I kept that drained melted water that was in the bowl (strong dark blue) and put it in the fridge.

The total dry weight of the finds was 9.2 grams.

So I'm wondering...
- Is that mushy water going to have any potency?
- Did that process likely reduce the potency of the dried shrooms?

Perhaps this info is all too vague for an answer but i'm sure i'm not the only person to have done this :smile: any help or follow-up questions appreciated!

Here's the timeline on all this in case that is a factor:
Weekend one - first haul, straight in the freezer
The next weekend - 2nd haul added to first haul in the freezer
2 days later - thawed and dried, runoff water into the fridge
5 days later - today, dried shrooms are frozen and runoff still in fridge

That blue juice will be potent, depending on how many mushrooms made it and whether they were pins or mature specimens.

If i'm reading correctly that you 'thawed' the mushrooms (strained them?) then dried them it's likely they have lost a considerable amount of potency.

Thanks - I'd say it was about 1/3 'young' shrooms, and 2/3 mature. (9.2 grams was the total dry amount in the end)

The thawing process was just letting them sit in a colander over a bowl for a few hours til not frozen, then rinsing, then saving that leftover water. No squeezing or anything like that.
