Storage Method
    #26927519 - 09/10/20 03:18 AM (3 years, 4 months ago)

Hi all, I’ve been finding hundreds of Liberty caps  these past couple days and have fan dried most for 48 hours on a rotation with today’s pick to be fan dried for another 48 hours etc.

I have a quick question on dry storage method. After the 48 hour fan dry, I’m putting the mushies in a mason jar with a teabag that’s been emptied and refilled with calcium carbonate (desiccant) taped to the top to remove any extra moisture in the jar. The mushies aren’t ‘cracker’ dry but they sure are dry. Should this method be enough to ensure long term storage?

Thanks in advance.

Maybe, but I would really get them cracker dry asap if you are going to store them for any amount of time. The desiccant is fine but it will probably take a while to finish pulling the moisture out depending on how wet they are. A dehydrator is probably your best bet for rapid drying. But once they are dry they last a long time in jars.

Thanks for the tip. Can I ask, if I purchase a dehydrator and use that to dry the mushrooms, can they then go straight into the jar for long term storage or is it advisable to also store dehydrated mushrooms with desiccant?

It can't hurt to throw a desiccant pack in there. The shrooms themselves should be dry after a dehydrator run, but there will be air inside the jar when you close it and that air will contain some moisture

I always put a desiccant in with them. I guess if the moisture is down around 15% and the container is air tight you technically don't need one. But yea after they get done on the dehydrator they should go straight into storage. Remember the longer they are wet the more the actives degrade.

Yeah definitely get them totally dry, they’re tiny so it should be easy.

Desiccant is crazy cheap I use reusable food safe pouches of it and mix them into my bags and jars.
