Potency Preserving Storage of Dried Mushrooms: Jar with Silica Gel Bags vs Vaccum Sealing? * 1
    #27028485 - 11/08/20 11:58 AM (4 years, 2 months ago)

I consider buying a vacuum sealer to store dried mushrooms. Would you say this is overkill and a jar with a 5g silica gel bag would work just as well? Or is it worth the investment?

Vacuum bagged is perfectly good on it own as long as you get a good seal.

On its own? I'm asking vacuum bagging _or_ jar + desiccant.

Id say jar and desiccant is garbage compared to a proper vacuum job. :shrug:

Im for vacuum sealed as well. Adding a desiccant packet would be extra insurance :thumbup:

buy a sturdy vaccuum sealer which also makes a thick seal.
avoid the overly cheap ones the seals tend to open :eek:
