How to Store Psilocybin Mushrooms
Storing Psilocybin Mushrooms
- Drying the Mushrooms:
- Air Drying: Place mushrooms on a clean surface with good airflow. Use a fan to speed up the process.
- Desiccant Drying: After initial air drying, place mushrooms in an airtight container with a desiccant packet to remove any remaining moisture.
- Vacuum Sealing:
- Once dried, vacuum seal the mushrooms to remove air and prevent exposure to moisture and oxygen.
- Storage in Airtight Containers:
- Store dried mushrooms in dark, airtight containers to protect them from light, moisture, and air. Mason jars or other glass containers with tight seals work well.
- Desiccant Packs:
- Including desiccant packs in storage containers can help absorb any residual moisture and prevent mold growth.
- Use of Mylar Bags:
- Mylar bags with oxygen absorbers are another effective option for long-term storage. They provide a good barrier against light, oxygen, and moisture.
How Long Do Psilocybin Mushrooms Last?
- Dried Mushrooms: When stored properly in airtight containers, away from heat, light, and moisture, dried psilocybin mushrooms can last for several years. Their potency may gradually decrease over time, but they generally remain effective.
Psilocybin Mushroom Storage
- Avoid Heat and Light: Store mushrooms in a cool, dark place to prevent degradation.
- Labeling: Clearly label the containers with the date of drying and storage to keep track of their age.
- Airtight Containers: Use airtight containers such as mason jars or vacuum-sealed bags to protect from moisture and air.
- Desiccants: Use desiccant packs to absorb any residual moisture and prevent mold growth.
- Mylar Bags: For long-term storage, use Mylar bags to provide an excellent barrier against light, oxygen, and moisture.
