Storing wet mushrooms

Ok I just picked my mushrooms and I am planning to take them this weekend, I put them in a sandwhich bag, sucked out all the air and put them in the refrigerator, will they still be good by the weekend? and also is it true if you break the mushrooms it causes psychibolon(sp i know) to break down faster? I kind of squished them into the bag so yeah..

You should immediately dry your shrooms after harvest. If you choose to store them in the fridge, store them in a paper bag if they are still wet. If you store them in a plastic baggie while wet they will mold faster. Dry those beiotches!! -Me

Take them out of the plastic baggie and put them in a paper bag. like a lunch sack.
'breaking' or 'squishing' the mushrooms is fine

no, its not.
Just put the shrooms on a plate in the crisper, they can keep for 2 weeks like that if they are picked young.

i thought dried mushrooms lost half of their potency because the psilocin deecays during the drying but not the psilocybin. is this a myth?

Psilocin is much less than half the amount of actives, so no they don't lose half their potency. Also not all the psilocin will decompose if you dry them properly.
Properly dried they are *almost* as potent.
As for storing wet shrooms... I say a day at the most, maybe 3 or 4 in the fridge. That's max, and they will be a lot nastier. They'll be rotten and totally slimy and mushy if they go any longer.
What I would do if you don't have drying facilities would be to blend them up in orange juice and store them like that. That's one of the best ways to ingest anyway. I haven't actually tried the OJ storage method, but that would be my best idea. You could also freeze the OJ for longer storage.

pretty shitty that the compounds in the mushrooms break down cause then you could just use canning jars and can mushrooms in orange juice

canned shrooms, that would be cool. I know I know, but it would be a cool idea if it could be done

my canning book says you can can shrooms for 30min at 10 psi. I know they are not talking our kind but is that still within the limits of thermal degration?

What would be the advantage of canned mushrooms?
People say psilocin breaks down at 400 degrees. Pressure cooker at 15 p.s.i reaches about 250. I guess it would be worth a shot if you got the shrooms to try it out. I still don't see the advantage tho.
There would also be an issue of oxidization.

I was just thinking about the orange juice thing. It was just a thought thats all. I like triing new things that might help out others here since they have given so much to me. My canning book goes 30 min at 10psi so that would be even lower then the 250F right. just thinking out load thats all ty for your input tho

Yes 10 P.S.I will be a lower temp.
The best storage and dosage technique I've came to be very fond of is storing them dry inside of sealed jars or Tupperware with desiccant in the jars. I like to make batches of chocolate mushrooms. I use 30g of finely powdered mushrooms and 300g of milk chocolate. The chocolate is melted and the mushroom powder mixed in with a spatula evenly. Then allowed to harden inside of ice cube trays. Doseing doesn't get any easier or enjoyable.
So far the oldest chocolates I have eaten were 6 months old and had lost no noticeable potency.
