But if all you got is zip locks ........go with it man !

Once cracker-dry, I double bag 'em in zip-lock freezer bags, sucking out the air and keep 'em in the freezer. I have some that are 6 years old and still just as potent as ever.

Why not use a coffie grinder to make em gray/white dust.
Buy capsules of Kava-Kava, empty em out, and fill the empty cap's w/ the dust.
Bag the capsules, and wait for a rainy day.

they would have said not to use ziplock bags since they are not airtight. they will let in air over a long period of time. i put them in those tiny jars you get in hotels full of honey/jam since you can cram them full and have little or no air in there with them

I take a clean 1/2 pint jar and pack them in there, using a lid without holes, I can just throw in a pack of dessicant, and they should keep indefinitely.
The problem with ziplocs, is even the freezer ones are not completely air tight. Doubling them up definitely helps. Have you ever had something in a ziploc baggie in the fridge or freezer end up tasting like something else? That is because the odors were able to get through the bag, so can moisture.
Good luck to you

In reply to:

Never had a problem in 23 years of storing them in double or triple zip-lock freezer bags in the freezer. They never lose potency, get moist or pick up other food smells even if stored for 6 years.
Of course, mine is NOT a frost-free freezer, which probably helps quite a bit.
If I had a frost-free freezer, I'd probably switch to Mason jars.

i've seen several ppl say put them in a container and throw a packet of dessicant in there.
Why then can we not just leave it in a ,say, metal square container with silica filling the bottom about 1/2"
high, and placing the shrooms on a rack til forever, ever and ever??? I know this is how u initially dry them,
but does it hurt if u leave it in those conditions for a very long time and keep changing the silica time
after time so it's alwayz fresh??? I also store my prints with the dry mushies.

Can you grind up fresh shrooms into powder, or would it be more of a mush due to it being 90% water?

Wait until the mush is dried completely and then grind it up. It will turn to powder then.

Oooooo.... don't grind fresh mushrooms! The magic will be wasted by oxidation. You will end up with very blue, very impotent mush.
Didn't I hear that you could drop those sweet babies in a little alkiehall and get fungi-liquer? What about honey preservation? I know it works well with dried shroomies, but can you make blue honey out of fresh ones?
