When you grow or purchase your own magic mushrooms, it is essential that they are stored correctly. If not properly stored, they will quickly go bad and become a breeding ground for mold and bacteria. They will also lose potency over time if they are not kept in an airtight container. If left unprotected, fresh mushrooms and truffles will last only about 10 days before they rot. Dried mushrooms and truffles, however, can last up to a year or more when stored in the correct manner.

How to store magic mushrooms  to place them in a mason jar and keep them in a dark, cool environment. Mason jars are easy to find in stores, and they create an airtight seal that will prevent oxygen from entering the container and degrading the mushroom’s potency. If using this method, we recommend adding a few silica gel packets to the jar. This will help ensure that any moisture that is trapped in the jar is absorbed.

Another popular option is to place the mushrooms in a small food dehydrator and use the machine to dry them out. Dehydrators are relatively inexpensive and can be purchased at most big box stores. This method will typically take about four to eight hours. We recommend checking the mushrooms frequently to make sure they are completely dry.

A final option is to place the mushrooms in a mason jar and cover them with honey. We recommend opting for raw honey, which will preserve the shrooms well. This can be done with the mushrooms powdered or whole, and it is recommended that you use a very thick honey to make sure that the shrooms are completely covered.
