Yes people have. It works well to preserve potency but the mushrooms are a lot more crumbly and suck up moisture quickly from the atmosphere once removed from a sealed environment...

I know the pics and containers don't have the best visibility but does this agar look good?

Atl 7 on mea agar, was planning on knocking up some jars this weekend or does it need another transfer?


It's hard to see of course, but it looks good.  The super puffiness of the transfer piece worries me slightly, but it might be nothing.  I think you'll be okay going to grain.

Is this cake bruised, dry, or moldy?  I turned it upside down for some side pin clean up early this week, prior to soaking it for 2nd flush. It didn't get this bluish color until today. It doesn't smell moldy though. Is it contam or is it safe to keep going?

I've just misted the walls of the box (after taking the picture).

For the cost of a proper freeze dryer (and not wanting to start a freeze-dried skittles business) -- this is great info to know! I always assumed it was completely superior to dehydrating but simply much less accessible due to the cost.

Thanks Nichome, looks like your answer helped a lot of people. Like another said, I thought it would be a superior method just because of the cost.

Are ziplock bags sufficient for storing dried shrooms (thinking of air tightness here) or are mason jars better? Or something even better? I would use desiccant in both cases.

Unfortunately all ziplock type bags are permeable to air and moisture. Super handy for organizing and short term storage but no more.

Glass is king but remember to block light. Mylar bags such as Wallaby brand are very good. They come with zip-like closures and can be heat sealed. Toss in a desiccant and potency should be preserved for quite a while.

Any particular tek or method you would recommend following for fruiting? I want to do 10 2-gal ziplocs, 5 with straw, 5 with hwfp/sawdust/soy hulls and see what happens. I’ll be fruiting them in a tent on shelves in small buckets I think, with an exhaust hooked up to outside. I’ll be running 2 ultrasonic humidifiers in a 6x8 tent.

I'm at a rest area waiting on a stall:lol: I'll be hitting up a few parks and trails on my way towards you, then finding a spot to set up camp for the night. Maybe find a bar with some good food. Any recommendations?

Here in town.. the Irish Pub though a little spendy. Next up The Log Cabin but the parking sucks lol. Can't really go wrong with any of the Casinos either. Lucky Dog has Stuntzii in the front parking lot garden quite often. :lol:

If you're heading up 101 don't miss out on the Geoduck in Brinnon.
