Hello. What is the best way to store mushrooms?  To keep the potency as high as possible?  Freeze them?  How long could they last?
Thank you. Any advice is appreciated.

You'll want a food dehydrator.

When dried, either vacuum seal or store in airtight jars with desiccant packs.

I agree with the above responses.  Mason jars work great and are easy to open and reseal.  Don't ever put them in the freezer, that causes condensation to form on them and they'll go bad.  A desiccant pack in each jar or bag is essential as well.

My response from another recent thread

Quote:

Silica gel constantly absorbs moisture until it is completely saturated.
You need to heat the packets of silica gel to drive off the moisture in the packets.
You can dry silica gel packets by putting them in your oven.

You don't need to use silica gel while vacuum sealing mushrooms.
I have stopped using it while vacuum sealing after going through this exact issue.
If the fruits are cracker dry, they're cracker dry. Vacuum sealing them should preserve their dryness.
Adding anything else into the vacuum sealed bag can potentially introduce moisture.
