i read through the posts on the general tripping faq and others, and nothing seems to mention how long psilocybes stay potent.
so, yeah. can anyone tell me the shelf life of mushrooms? does preservation method matter?

Yes, method matters a lot.

First off, make sure they're dried. There's three enemies to your dried mushrooms, heat, light, and oxygen. Put them in something air tight, in a dark, cool place and they'll last you a long time.

From what I've heard, putting them into capsule form, and then freezing them lasts the longest.

Hi and welcome here!

If the mushrooms are cracker dry and stored in a ziplock they can last for months without any noticeable potency loss. If you want to store them for more than lets say three months, I would put them in a dark and cool place in an airtight bag. You can also add some gas that does not contain oxygen for even longer preservation.

Search the articles on this site for good methods to store mushrooms!

If it's just for a few weeks, you don't have to worry about anything as long as the mushrooms are cracker dry.

Thoroughly dry them, grind them, sterilise and thoroughly dry an old jam jar, fill jar with powder, tighten lid, put foil over top of jar and double wrap an elastic band round it, store in cool dark place.

I've had insanely powerful trips off powder stored for well over a year!

Figured id add on to the post: anyone ever try storing them in honey? I crushed up a half oz once and mixed it with some honey. Stored it for 1 month. There was potency loss, but not much
