In a zip lock bag in the crisper drawer in the fridge. In general, away from moisture and heat. For long term storage, it may be a good idea to pack a small desiccant packet in the container with your finished product.

Yessir. Refrigerators may not be a good idea cause they're humid.

Might be best to pack them with a desiccant in a cool, dry, dark place (UV rays degrade the active chemicals). Could probably last for years in those conditions.

No water means no life. Remember this.

He's right about the fridge. Sorry for the misdirection. I just store mine there out of habit.

No, unless they're fresh and you plan on eating them within a week or so.

once cracker dry, I place in a regular sandwich bag (not ziplock) with a desicant pack and place in a paper bag to block light then throw them in a drawer in my dresser. They are good there for as long as needed.

Go to a hobby store and ask them where they keep the silica gel stuff for drying flowers.

In a pinch you can buy a pack of beef jerky and take the pack out of it.

Just make sure not to eat it. That would just be silly.

Put a hygrometer in your refrigerator. You'll be surprised. Just because it's cold in there doesn't mean it's humid.
If the ziplock bag is sealed airtight and there is a little baggy of desiccant in it with the shrooms the refrigerator is actually a perfect place for storing them.

Why do you have to block the light?

#1 I block the light because uv light breaks down the active alkaloids
#2 you can get desicants in any household or hardware store sold as "DAMPRID" for drying out basements/closets/attics etc.
