WHERE TO GET DRIED PSILOCYBIN MUSHROOM

There’s no need to try and eat your whole harvest in one sitting — properly dried psilocybin mushrooms can last for many months. Learn how here.

Whether you grew, forged, or bought fresh shrooms, you’ll likely need to dry them before you have time to use them. Buy dried shrooms

Like button mushrooms you can buy at the supermarket, all shrooms have a limited shelf life. Drying magic mushrooms promptly will preserve them for many months under the right conditions while protecting them from decomposition and contamination. Buy dried magic mushrooms

In this guide, we cover how to dry shrooms, different methods of drying magic mushrooms, how to store them, and spotting contamination on dried mushrooms. Buy dried psychedelic mushrooms

DRY VS FRESH PSILOCYBIN MUSHROOM

While there is nothing wrong with eating fresh psilocybin mushrooms, if you find yourself with more than you can handle in one go best practice is to dry them.

Fresh mushrooms are heavier because of the water content (so you need to eat more), although the rumor is they’re also more potent. Order dried shrooms online

If you are eating fresh mushrooms, be aware that dosage is not going to be the same as most guides provide weight, assuming you have dried shrooms.

In general, the dose of fresh mushrooms is about 8–10 times higher than the equivalent dose of dried mushrooms — but this isn’t an exact science. Psilocybin and psilocin levels can increase much more significantly in fresh mushrooms compared to dried ones. Buy golden teacher mushroom

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO DRY PSILOCYBIN MUSHROOM

The length of time it takes to dry magic mushrooms depends on the method used, how you prepare the shrooms and the climate you are in. Buy psilocybe azurescens mushroom

A quality dehydrator is the fastest method, being possible in a few hours with good equipment and conditions. Buy penis envy mushroom

That said, we recommend taking your time rather than trying to dry shrooms fast because cutting corners can leave some moisture behind.

Not getting your shrooms “cracker dry” can lead to contamination during long-term storage. Where to get dried shrooms in Europe

PREPARE YOUR PSILOCYBIN MUSHROOM FOR DRYING

To decrease the amount of tie required for drying mushrooms, you can break large shrooms into smaller pieces by tearing or cutting them. Buy psilocybin mushroom Australia

This will increase the surface area of the shrooms exposed to air and speed up the process. Buy dried shrooms online

Cutting and tearing shrooms will not lessen potency by a noticeable amount. Buy magic mushroom online

PRE-DRYING PSILOCYBIN MUSHROOM

The drying process needs to eliminate as much moisture as possible, which isn’t as simple as plopping the shrooms in a dehydrator or box. Buy psilocybin mushroom online

Shrooms are around 90% water when you get them fresh [1]. Inside and outside the mushrooms are mold spores and bacteria. If you try to dry the shrooms too rapidly, pockets of moisture remain inside the mushrooms. If there is any moisture available, contaminants like mold and bacteria will grow. Buy psilocybin mushroom Germany

To pre-dry your shrooms, make sure they are clean and find a dry and ideally dark place with good airflow. Buy psilocybin mushroom France

Set out the mushrooms on paper or in front of a fan and leave them for a few hours to a few days. They are ready for the next stage, when they start to wrinkle and have a rubbery texture. Buy psilocybin mushroom UK

HOW TO AIR DRY PSILOCYBIN MUSHROOM

It’s possible to dry mushrooms for free in a few days. Air can get shrooms dry enough for long-term storage in climates with low relative humidity. Buy psilocybin mushroom UAE

If you aren’t sure about your humidity levels, you can test a location with inexpensive humidity meters from a garden center. For many of us, to get mushrooms to pass the “snap test” (if the stems break clean or simply bend), air drying will only be the first step. Buy psilocybin mushroom Switzerland

There is also a greater risk of airborne contamination with this method. DRIED PSILOCYBIN MUSHROOMS

AIR-DRY SHROOMS

  1. Find a clean, dry, cool, dark place. Good airflow is nice, but a shelf inside a closet works fine too. You can set up a fan to move the air.
  2. Set the shrooms on a paper towel or paper. Placing the shrooms on a screen or oven rack works and allows for more airflow as well.
  3. Check for contamination. You are looking for fuzzy stuff, odd colors, or slimy texture. If any shrooms show signs of this, remove them.
  4. Leave the shrooms for several days. You can rotate large mushroom chunks, but the most needed is time.

HOW TO DEHYDRATE PSILOCYBIN MUSHROOM

Using a dehydrator is a great way to dry magic mushrooms. While it requires a bit of investment, if you have a steady supply of fungi, this is going to be worthwhile. Buy psilocybin mushroom Netherlands

You can buy a dehydrator online or department store. They often start around 100 dollars for an entry-level model and go up to very expensive high-end machines. Buy psilocybin mushroom Greece

To dry shrooms, you don’t need anything too fancy, but temperature controls and a timer function make the process much easier. Buy psilocybin mushroom Bahrain

HERE IS HOW TO DRY MUSHROOMS WITH A DEHYDRATOR

  1. Make sure the racks are dry and clean, particularly if other food is in the dehydrator.
  2. Place your pre-dried mushrooms on the rack, ideally with some space for air to move around them. If they are big, it’s best to chop or tear them into smaller pieces.
  3. Close the lid and choose a low setting. It can be tempting to crank the machine up to max in an attempt to get the job done quickly, but low and slow is the best way to ensure the shrooms dry all the way through and avoid heat degrading their potency.
  4. Check them out after a few hours to see if they pass the “snap test.” Depending on the dehydrator, your shrooms, and the environment, this process can take a couple of hours to a few days. DRIED PSILOCYBIN MUSHROOMS

WHAT TEMPERATURE TO DRY PSILOCYBIN MUSHROOM

There isn’t a standard temperature to dry your mushrooms. Higher isn’t better, as you want your shrooms to be as dry as possible, inside and out. A gradual, slow process is the best way to do this. Rushing the process can leave pockets of moisture trapped, which creates a danger of contamination. Dried shrooms

Research into the stability of psilocybin has also shown that at high temperatures, psilocybin degrades significantly [2]. A very slight degradation begins at 25°C, and then psilocybin and psilocin degrade significantly after 100°C. Buy psilocybin mushroom Poland

For this reason, we don’t recommend using a convection oven, air fryer, or hair dryer to dry shrooms. These methods lack the delicate controls to have a slow and gradual process.

HOW TO DRY PSILOCYBIN MUSHROOM USING DESICCANT

If you don’t want to buy a dehydrator and air-drying isn’t going to be thorough enough, drying shrooms with a desiccant is a great option. This method is also a good low-key way to dry a lot of shrooms, as dehydrators usually make some noise. Buy psilocybin mushroom Russia

A desiccant is a substance that absorbs water. You have probably seen little packets of silica inside vitamin bottles or in the box with new shoes. Silica gel inside these packages protects products from moisture and contamination. Another example of a desiccant is cat litter. Buy psilocybin mushroom Ukraine

Desiccants have a set amount of water they can hold, but once at capacity can go through a regeneration process. Some products will change color as they reach their capacity for water. However, the chemicals responsible for this may contain heavy metals. Buy psilocybin mushroom Belgium

Whatever product is used, avoid contact between desiccants and the mushrooms, as a funny taste can sometimes linger. Buy psilocybin mushroom Sweden

WHERE TO GET SHROOMS IN AUSTRALIA

  1. Find a large box, ideally airtight. A Tupperware or tote works well.
  2. Purchase a desiccant. This is easily done online by searching for “silica gel.” This can come in bags of gel beads which are convenient for filling containers.
  3. Make a layer of desiccant in the bottom of the container and add something to separate the shrooms from the desiccant. A screen or rack works well, and paper towels or cardboard work too. Some people bend the chicken wire into a nice rack.
  4. Seal the container and leave it alone for a day or two. Try to leave the box tightly closed as much as possible in between checks for how dry the mushrooms are.

TIPS FOR STORING PSILOCYBIN MUSHROOM

Magic mushrooms’ shelf life depends on the storage method. Generally speaking, a cool, dry, and dark place is best for mushrooms. There are many different creative options, from a ziplock bag in your sock drawer to mason jars in a pantry or a vacuum sealer for large quantities. Buy psilocybin mushroom Sweden

Whatever method you choose, here are some psilocybin mushroom storage tips:

  1. Studies and anecdotes suggest psilocybin and psilocin seem to degrade under UV light, so an opaque, airtight container is ideal [3, 4].
  2. As we mentioned, heat will degrade psilocybin too. Freezing fresh or dried mushrooms is not recommended by science. However, psilocybin edibles are suited to a fridge or freezer.
  3. Restricting airflow is necessary because moisture and airborne contaminants can spoil your carefully dried shrooms.
  4. The stability of the psilocybin study suggests that grinding and storing mushrooms (like microdose capsules) may lose potency faster.
  5. Mushrooms will retain their potency for several months to up to a year, depending on how dry they are and the storage situation.
  6. Adding desiccant packets and O2 absorber to containers protect from contamination and increase shelf life.
  7. Mushrooms chocolates, gummies, or gel keep longer by protecting the psilocybin extract from degradation inside a delicious package. While these products have a long shelf life, we don’t really know for sure. Reports online suggest over a year. DRIED PSILOCYBIN MUSHROOMS

SPOTTING DRIED PSILOCYBIN MUSHROOM CONTAMINATION

Knowing if dried magic mushrooms are safe to consume hinges on spotting contamination. This usually shows up in colors like black or green, and a foul smell will also be present. Do remember that mushrooms will have a bluish tinge to them, and this probably isn’t mold. Buy psilocybin mushroom Austria

Pay attention too for slimy texture and if, over time, your shrooms are transitioning from cracker dry to soft and bendy. This means there is still moisture in them, and a deeper drying process is necessary to protect them from decomposition and contamination. Buy psilocybin mushroom Norway

FAQs: DRYING PSILOCYBIN MUSHROOM

1. Can You Dry Shrooms in a Convection Oven?

A convection oven is not recommended for drying shrooms. Psilocybin degrades at high temperatures, and a convection oven lacks controls to keep the heat at low levels. If the feature exists for you, it would be possible to place shrooms in the oven and only use the fan. There are reports of turning the oven on and cracking the door online, but we advise using one of the drying methods above to protect your shrooms. Air fryers also are not recommended. Buy psilocybin mushroom Croatia

2. Can I Dry Shrooms in The Sun?

Drying shrooms in the sun will cause the psilocybin and psilocin to degrade. Studies of cultivated psilocybe cubensis suggest that under UV light, psilocybin degrades rapidly. Shrooms are best kept in a cool, dark, and dry place. Buy psilocybin mushroom Denmark

3. Can You Dry Shrooms With a Microwave?

While some people do use the defrost setting of their microwaves to dry fruit, we don’t recommend this for shrooms. Folks dehydrating don’t have to worry about excess heat messing with their sweet snacks. However, even on defrost, it’s likely that heat from the microwave would damage the psilocybin in shrooms. Buy psilocybin mushroom Romania

4. Drying Shrooms With Cat Litter

It is possible to dry shrooms with cat litter as it is a desiccant. However, don’t just use any old bag of kitty litter. There are specific brands that use silica gel to absorb the moisture without creating the dust of other types. Check out the drying with desiccant instructions for using cat litter. Buy psilocybin mushroom Ireland

HOW LONG DO DRIED SHROOMS LAST?

If stored properly, your mushrooms should maintain roughly 80% of their potency for around a year. Buy psilocybin mushroom Finland

Just because you have some magic mushrooms to spare doesn’t mean you have the time or mental/emotional energy to take them. Buy psilocybin mushroom Wales

Several elements play into the length of time your dried mushrooms might last. Buy psilocybin mushroom Scotland

HOW LONG UNTIL DRY MUSHROOM GOES BAD?

Magic mushrooms can “go bad” by either losing their potency or by growing mold. While drying mushrooms helps prevent contamination, it doesn’t eliminate the risk altogether. DRIED PSILOCYBIN MUSHROOMS

Like any natural product, your dried mushrooms will start to break down over time; if moisture is in the jar, it may mold and become inedible. Otherwise, it may just leave you with an ineffective jar of sadness. Buy dried shrooms Australia

Under ideal conditions, your mushrooms shouldn’t rot or mold at all, even after several years. If exposed to moisture or air, your shrooms will likely mold and become inedible after just a few weeks or months. Buy dried shrooms in Europe

Factors that affect whether your mushrooms will go bad or not: 

  1. How they were grown — manure-grown mushrooms are more likely to become contaminated than things like rye grain or PF Tek.
  2. How they were dried — if your shrooms contain even a small amount of moisture, they will begin to rot.
  3. How they were stored — mushrooms last the longest if they are stored in a dark, dry, airtight container and kept in a cool or room-temperature location. DRIED PSILOCYBIN MUSHROOMS

The biggest element is time. Nothing lasts forever — this is a theme that seems to fit with the experience of psilocybin.

DO PSILOCYBIN MUSHROOM DEGRADE

If magic mushrooms are grown in adequate conditions, dried appropriately, and stored in an airtight, dark, and cool environment, they may maintain up to 80% of their potency for a year or more.

Degradation is a natural process for any living thing, and mushrooms are no exception. Oxygen, heat, and UV are the biggest factors that cause the active ingredients in your mushrooms to decay. DRIED PSILOCYBIN MUSHROOMS

Right after harvest, magic mushrooms contain high concentrations of psilocin and psilocybin. Psilocin is unstable and will degrade almost entirely by the time the mushrooms are dry. The psilocybin, however, is stable and will last much longer. Buy psilocybin mushroom Iceland

Properly storing your dried mushrooms will slow this degradation down — but it can’t stop it completely. Buy psilocybin mushroom Malta

AVOIDING POTENCY LOSS WHEN GROWING PSILOCYBIN MUSHROOM

Harvesting your mushrooms when the time is right (and not a moment later) and choosing mushrooms with high concentrations of psilocybin and psilocin can make a big difference in the potency of your mushrooms after a year of storage.

Magic mushroom species vary dramatically in potency. The average amount of psilocybin in a psilocybin-containing mushroom varies significantly from one species to another. Buy psilocybin mushroom Singapore

In general, Psilocybe azurescens is the species with the highest concentration of psilocybin and psilocin. Psilocybe semilanceata, Psilocybe bohemica, and Psilocybe zapetecorum aren’t far behind. DRIED PSILOCYBIN MUSHROOMS

Most mushrooms on the market today are Psilocybe cubensis — which are roughly seventh in terms of potency. They’re the most common, however, because of how easy they are to cultivate. Buy psilocybin mushroom Hungary

Sometimes there are reports that break the norms, though — for example, one study collected samples from the Pacific Northwest of various psilocybin-producing mushrooms and found a Psilocybe baeocystis — a species with typically low levels — to be the highest-producing mushroom [3]. Buy psilocybin mushroom Spain

Regardless of which species you choose, it’s important to remove your mushrooms from the substrate with as little force as possible to avoid bruising — which refers to a bluish color that develops when the mushrooms are damaged. When the cells are damaged, psilocin is exposed to oxygen — which oxidizes and degrades the psilocin into inactive chemicals [4]. Buy shrooms Netherlands

Waiting too long after the mushrooms are “ripe” can also cause psilocin and psilocybin to begin breaking down early. Buy psilocybin mushroom Adelaide

For mushrooms found outside,  research indicates it’s best to harvest after the sun goes down as the ultraviolet rays can potentiate the damage of removing the mushrooms.

HOW PSILOCYBIN MUSHROOM DEGRADE IN DIFFERENT STORAGE CONDITION

The best storage conditions for dried magic mushrooms are somewhere out of direct sunlight in an airtight container. 

Any UV light, oxygen, mold or bacterial growth, fluctuations in temperature, or humidity will cause your mushrooms to lose potency sooner. Buy psilocybin mushroom Melbourne

Other techniques can preserve your shrooms even longer — such as making blue honey. Buy psilocybin mushroom Andorra

A study reviewed the effects of storing fresh and dried mushrooms in 5 different conditions and found the best way is in the dark at room temperature. Buy psilocybin mushroom Isle of man

The study involved testing mushrooms stored under different conditions over a 15-month timespan [1]. The starting potency of the mushrooms was 1.5% psilocybin. Buy psilocybin mushroom Phoenix

  1. Firstly, In light at Room Temperature (68ºF) — Within one week, psilocybin content dropped to 0.96%. After a month, it lowered to 0.72% and then 0.67% and 0.45% at the 2-month and 15-month follow-up, respectively. DRIED PSILOCYBIN MUSHROOMS
  2. Secondly, Dark Conditions at Room Temperature (68ºF) — Concentrations lowered to just 1.3% at the one-week mark and stayed at ~82% by the 2-month mark. At the conclusion, it still maintained a slight lead over the others with 0.477%.
  3. Thirdly, Refrigerated (~40ºF) — Refrigerated samples were down to 1.2% after a week and varied from 0.85–0.817% between the one-month and two-month follow-up. After 15 months, psilocybin content was around 0.45%.
  4. Fourthly, Frozen (-4 ºF) — The lower the temperature goes, the worse the storage solution seems to be. The one-week, one-month, two-month, and 15-month follow-ups for this one were 1.01%, 0.78%, 0.72%, and 0.45%. While performing marginally better than the fridge option at later check-ups, it performed very poorly on the onset before degradation appears to have slowed.
  5. Lastly, Frozen (-112 ºF) — Magic mushrooms aren’t that ground turkey you haven’t worked up the courage to cook yet; freezing is the worst way to store your shrooms over time. The immediate loss is still better than you’d expect from storing them in direct sunlight, but not by much, and the losses between the two are very comparable.

Samples were relatively the same at the 15-month mark, but the rapidness of degradation was wildly different among different options.

AVOIDING LOSS OF POTENCY WHEN DRYING PSILOCYBIN MUSHROOM

When drying your mushrooms, you can take preventative measures to prevent a dramatic loss of potency. Buy psilocybin mushroom Qatar

Going from fresh to dried mushrooms will inherently involve some of the potency slipping off, but ensuring they dry quickly in a dark area with plenty of airflow is best.

Some of the ways people commonly wind up reducing the potency of their mushrooms while drying them include:

  1. Exposure to Direct Sunlight — As we’ve mentioned above, UV light WILL reduce the potency of your mushrooms, so it’s best if they’re dried in a dark area.
  2. Too Much/Too Little Heat — Don’t expect to dry your mushrooms quickly in the oven or throw them in the freezer and dry them out later. Extreme heat on either side can greatly affect potency.
  3. Drying Mushrooms in Too Humid of an Environment — If you keep a humid home or live in a damp area, it may take longer for your mushrooms to dry, opening them up to contamination. It’s best to dry your mushrooms quickly and store them away from an open-air environment. DRIED PSILOCYBIN MUSHROOMS
  4. (Potentially) Cutting Mushrooms Before Drying — While research is inconclusive, some studies suggest cutting your mushrooms into smaller pieces may damage their potency. Increasing the surface area exposed to air will inherently enhance the degradation of your magic mushroom’s alkaloids. Big mushrooms, however, take longer to dry, and it’s likely better to minimally cut them in quick, clean sections. DRIED PSILOCYBIN MUSHROOMS
  5. Powdering Mushrooms After Drying Them — Turning dried mushrooms into powder is a good idea if you intend to consume them relatively quickly, but it may be a mistake if you need some time in storage. This option opens your mushroom up to the most surface area for air out of the other possibilities and is, therefore, the riskiest for degradation. DRIED PSILOCYBIN MUSHROOMS

ALTERNATIVE DRYING AND STORAGE OPTION FOR PSILOCYBIN MUSHROOM

Some options you may want to consider if you’re planning to store your mushrooms a bit longer (and are willing to buy some equipment) include: Buy psilocybin mushroom Latvia

  1. Firstly, using a Food Dehydrator — If you have access to a reliable food dehydrator, this is one of the best ways to quickly dry your mushrooms under a reliable temperature. Just make sure you don’t exceed 95ºF to avoid burning off psilocybin with excessive heat.
  2. Secondly, flash Freezing Your Mushrooms — Flash-freezing mushrooms is becoming a popular way to maintain mushrooms for longer and remove even more moisture. By freezing your mushrooms in a vacuum-sealed container with a fan to remove ice build-up, you can maintain the shape and structure of your mushrooms and avoid heat and air.
  3. Thirdly, Storing Mushrooms in Honey — Preserve your mushrooms in honey (AKA “Blue Honey“) as humans have been doing for centuries. Simply grind your dried mushrooms up and add them to a jar of runny honey and wait around two weeks before straining or keeping the mushroom bits in your honey and dosing it out. The honey helps prevent contamination and extends the shelf life tremendously (perhaps even indefinitely).
  4. Lastly, Creating Mushroom Edibles — Mushrooms on their own don’t stand up well to the powers of time, but within a product, they may last longer. Consider turning your mushrooms into a recipe you can section out and freeze to use over time.

Of course, most people simply air-dry their mushrooms which is a perfectly acceptable method on its own.

HOW LONG DO THE EFFECT OF DRIED PSILOCYBIN MUSHROOM LAST

The duration of your experience with magic mushrooms will largely depend on your dosage and, to a lesser extent, other metabolic and dietary factors. DRIED PSILOCYBIN MUSHROOM

For an average person/dosage of magic mushrooms, you can expect the experience to last anywhere from around 4–6 hours with a potential “afterglow” effect for up to 24 hours.

Fresh mushrooms last slightly longer than dried mushrooms simply because they contain a higher concentration of psilocin, which degrades during the drying process. Buy psilocybin mushroom Slovakia

HOW LONG DO DRIED PSILOCYBIN MUSHROOM STAY IN YOUR SYSTEM

While we can’t encourage anyone to ignore the limitations of drug screening in their life with certainty, most psychedelics won’t show up on a drug test after about 24 hours.

However, it can THEORETICALLY still pop up on a drug test up to 7 days later in some individuals.

Factors that can cause psilocybin to show up on a test beyond the usual 24-hour period include:

  1. Firstly, liver disease — slow liver metabolism can leave psilocybin lingering in the system for much longer than expected.
  2. Secondly, certain medications — some medications interfere with the metabolism of psilocybin, slowing down their elimination.
  3. Thirdly, urinary tract disease — slow elimination of urine could allow psilocybin metabolites to remain in the system longer than expected.
  4. Lastly, hair and nail testing — these forms of testing aren’t very reliable, but could technically show the presence of psilocybin up to 90 days after taking it.
