I usually would keep in sealed ziplock baggie in a jar perhaps with desiccant in the bottom in separate packet type thing. can they be frozen once dried? will it affect potency and reduce psilocybin/psilocin? I have never frozen them, but usually keep in fridge.

Grind them and put them in some film containers or bigger ones if needed. Put in a pack of desiccant gel. keep in a cool dark place. It will last for a while that way and not take much room.

eh i hate grinding em they look so pretty once dry and stored.This is how i store mine.
Get them bone dry and i mean bone dry make sure there isnt any moisture!. Then put em in a ziplock bag and put em in the freezer.No loss in potency and can be stored for years.

if you go with some caps you want to use the 00 size thats about one gram each and i would get one of those little machines to do 5 at a time or you will be there all day

I dry mine until cracker dry, then either seal with a vacuum in bags or in quart jars. I just keep the bags/jars in a cool dark place until their ready for use. I find using a fridge/freezer just an added hassle when storing fungi, meh personal taste.

Once cracker dry I just seal them up in bags and put the bags in a container with desiccant,the desiccant absorbs the moisture that would get in your mushrooms,I wish I had very large airtight containers but I can never seem to find any that fit the bill for the size I need,....or even half the size I need or I would just buy a few of them,putting them in jars would take up way to much space although that is what I did on my first few grows when there was not much to store
