What is everyone's preferred storage method? Vacuum sealing or airtight container with desiccant? Anyone do overkill and vacuum seal with desiccant?

Airtight glass container with a couple of desiccant bags thrown in, kept in the dark.

Cracker dry, ziplock bag and try to get some of the air out. I don't like vacuum sealing because it usually crushes them.

I was looking at these rubbermaid plastic airtight containers. Easy to separate small amounts of varieties and stackable. Throw some desiccant in those.

Same, but I looked into it and I won't have the cash for a cryo chamber for a few more pay periods.

I just found out that oxygen absorbers are a thing. They're like silica gel packets but they remove oxygen instead of water vapor. There's a bunch on amazon.
I think these may do more for your shrooms than the silica gel, but might as well use both.

silica gel absorbs moisture from air not oxygen, oxygen-absorber absorbs oxygen not moisture, you will be needing both only if you are planning on long term storage in which case you will have to change them every couple of months
