Best way to bulk grind mushrooms?

Sorry if this is not the correct sub-forum for this topic.
I have taken to grinding my dried mushrooms and processing them into chocolate bars. I believe this has several advantages, as the chocolate bars can be frozen and kept for a long period of time without any loss in potency (IME) and they are not recognizable as containing any illegal substances.
However, I can only grind about 6 grams of dried shrooms in my coffee grinder at a time, and I'm hoping someone can recommend a method of grinding significantly more mushrooms, ideally at least 24g, to a fine powder. I think something like a food processor might work, but I have doubts that it would result in as fine a powder as my coffee grinder. If anyone has a solution for this issue I'd be quite grateful!
Grazie! Be safe and be happy!

An automated milling device as used for grain would be best. I saw a youtube video of someone who put in a few pounds of grain into a machine and out came a fine powder.
There are some that operate manually by turning a wheel, but it looks like kitchenaid has an automated one for $150. I bought a manual milling machine operated by crank for about $40

Coffee grinder. No joke. I'd been grinding them by hand where nitrile gloves for a while before I read someone on here actually say to use a coffee grinder. I had one all along.
Sure enough, it took 30 minutes of work into 45 seconds and got it into pure dust powder, better than I ever could. Highly, highly recommend. I have a cheap plug in one I bought at Walmart years and years ago. I think it was like $9 at the time; so you don't need anything fancy.
EDIT: Sorry I didn't read the whole post. My cousin has used a food processor before but it didn't get them to the same dust/powder consistency a coffee grinder does. I have to do mine in batches.

I can take about a QP in a large Ziploc bag and crush it up small enough to where it would fit in my coffee grinder

I would use a blender or food processor, the longer you leave it on the finer it will be.

A member named SHROOMSISAY posted about making something called a ball mill once, I'll try to find a link but I'm on my phone and the search is hard from here... Supposed to work really well though.

I use a Universal #3 hand Meat Grinder to grind my freshly foraged Chaga. They come with 3 different-sized heads to give you the grind you want. The #3 is the largest size grinder with the longest handle for more torque. You can find them in antique shops or yard sales for under $20.
