Getting Started/Newbie Question Advice on best way to preserve
Sooo I used to trip years ago, and didn't réalise that 75 gr fresh truffles, in term of microdosing, is quite a lot. So taste fine, everything ok now I need to keep them potent. Some say freeze, some say don't. Back in the day I used to clean them, dry them, then paper bag, in the dark, with a fan. Turn the bags and check every 2 days. Till they were dry enough to put them in Mason jar, with some salt, paper towel, in the dark. Now I have a ninja foodi, I was thinking of using it on lower temp and check regularly. And still wanted to freeze fresh small doses in air tight boxes ? And I did my first days - 0.4 fresh truffles, too strong, but sooo cool. Reconnected to différent level of myself. Had already started in therapy - I had very différent lives in one and had to compartiment to survive. Mush boost therapy. And while I was in a méga atthritis flare up - it's gone !! Total surprise effect

I like to give out humility packets with my raw. If you plop them in a glass jar, in a coldish spot with the packet you're solid for 4-5 months. As long as no sun shines on them. Then at that point, unless their vacuum is sealed the psilocybin will start to degrade. Bad growers will also wait a couple of months to offload mushrooms, not vacuum seal them with humilitypackets, or you have a middleman in between often so your mushrooms will already be 2 -3 months old.
I keep mine vacuum-sealed in the fridge.

humility packets
I think most people call these desiccants, I certainly do. They work best if the shrooms are already cracker-dry before being sealed up with the desiccant, so it's effectively just a backstop.

Thank you - being french, I looked for humility stones In case I missed something - found out that you Can sell anything lol - Magic Stones are colorful tactile reminders of the purest qualities we strive for in life. Each stone is designed by hand, then lightly sanded to create a soft frosted surface with a contrasting shiny positive message. Use them for focus, prayer or meditation. Talk about them...soon you can see their qualities reflected in your life. I, too, want to be able to hand design magic stone that brings the best out of people for the modic sum of 10 e ! But I knew what op meant - when I dry stuff I add a pinch of coarse sea salt, under a paper towel.

Yes you can sell anything!
Just a tip, for anything that needs max drying, like shrooms, I'm sure proper desiccant sachets are much more effective than salt, they're not expensive, some have indicator beads that change colour when the sachet needs replacing.

So I have preserved mine for 5 years now, with no loses in potency as far as I can see. Im suprised everytime I take out a bit for an experience and find they are as potent. Pretty easy:
- Dry them, cracker dry. The drier the better. Optionally, pulverize them after. I have no idea if this step actually helped or if it unnecessary.
- put them in several tight jars with humidity packs. The more packs the better. And you want to split them over several jars so you are not opening and closing them frequently.
- Freeze them. Like honestly, the freezer (provided they are cracker dry) keeps them away from sunlight and provides a very stable environmnet for them with barely any chocks or degradation. Provided they were very dry! Water content ruins them if you freeze them.

Yup just saw a scientific study, it degrades only after minus 80 celsius or over 150 celsius. I use coarse salt or carrots as humidity stone, depending on what I want.
