im sorry. ill say it again, im sorry, but im here at barnes n nobles, and not enough time to search through the site and/or old posts to find my simple answer. to store shrooms, i got them with two desiccant bags, covered in paper, in a ziplock bag, in the fridge. is this fine, or does it need something else? is freezer better? how long will they be potent? etc etc thanks soooo much! sorry again for posting such noob questions, but, no time.

airtight container with a bit of desiccant inside. Make sure the desiccant can't touch the shrooms.

How would you go about making an airtight container with no special equipment? Or is there no way?

I splurged and bought a fancy, mushroom shaped, decorative one with a little clamp on it. Good luck making one, I tried and got a bunch of soggy desiccant sitting next to my shrooms. I'm lucky nothing got nasty. Plastic bags, tupperware and the fridge don't cut it for the long term.

idea, or ideal... a clamping latch and gasket help a lot.

ps, another thing, i was gone a week, my mom came to visit me from germany, so we drove up 2 sanfransisco for a few days, right when my shrooms were about to pop up, when i got back, they had already fully grown (fuckin tiny, dammit) and had already popped out all the spores... leaving them al black and alot of the area around..... how can i clean the spores off for a syringe? and will the cakes and casings be ok? or will it stop now? (yea, im doing both in the same chamber) thx again

I had the same thing happen to me when my mom visited once. She left my place after a weekend and I got to open the PMP full of huge shrooms and mad spores. the dispersed spores are as non-sterile as the rest of your chamber. if you're up for agar isolation, they are pretty choice. Aside from looking bad, they shouldn't effect anything.

a spore print and scraping spores off the stem of a mushroom are totally different. Read up on spore printing. I just used an inoculation loop to scrape down a couple stems and then onto agar plates. Worked just as well as a spore print for cloning and saved on buying more spores.

Where would I be able to obtain one of these jars? Would Wal-Mart carry something like this? And also where could I get some desiccant bags?

try the flea market? last time i went to one early summer there were a lot of older/antique ones for fairly cheap prices. Plus you can cruise around and look at all the neat stuff there.
