Best way to bulk grind mushrooms?
    #27817631 - 06/13/22 01:19 PM (1 year, 7 months ago)

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.

Have some medicinal mushrooms and want to get the most out of them?  Try this double extraction method.

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.
