Does open air reduc potency of dried mushrooms?
    #5554931 - 04/25/06 01:24 PM (17 years, 9 months ago)

After i pick my mushrooms i just leave them in this little container by the fan to dryout and become crispy, takes 2-4 days. After they are dry i just leave them in there exposed to the air and everything until i eat them. Should i keep them in an airtight container? Does open air reduce potency in shrooms after awhile? I usually eat the mushies within 2 weeks of picking, usually like 5-10 days and the are gone.

I think it's the oxygen that breaks down psilocybin, so open air is bad. Air tight is good. Airtight -w- a desiccant like silica gel (clear kitty litter) is even better. I put some silica in a coffee filter and wrap it tight with a rubber band, or tape, and store that with the shrooms in a jar.

They won't degrade noticably in two weeks as long as you fan dry as soon as you pick. That is the important thing, get them dry.
