Drying and Preservation
of the Mushrooms
Once you have grown and harvested some mushrooms, you need to
think about preserving them. They will only keep for a short time in
their fresh state. Sometimes a single mushroom Bam

and it isn't enough for a dose. Other times, too many mushrooms will
be fully grown for a single dose. Either way, you will be in a situation
where you want to preserve them for later. And, even if this didn't
happen, you may find your self in a situation where you simply don't
have the time or inclination to trip. The good news is that if they are
dried correctly, nearly all of the psycho-active compounds can be
preserved for many months.
There are several ways to dry them, but we will only cover the best
way. What ever you do, don't use heat to dry them. Heat is very
harmful to the psycho-active compounds. You will drastically reduce
the mushroom's potency if you use heat to dry them.

l 1/4 inch wire mesh
l old wash cloth or rag
l carton of Damp-Rid or Damp-be-Gone (Anhydrous calcium
chloride)
l Medium or Large size Tupperware bowl with sealing lid
Several pounds of calcium chloride can be purchased for a couple of
dollars at any large building supply outlet. It will usually be found in
the paint department because it is used to dry the air in musty closets
before painting and things like that. If possible, get the bulk refill
containers. It will be cheaper than the calcium chloride that comes with
the units to hold it and the moisture pulled from the air. You won't be
using the unit, so don't buy it unless you have to.
The drying chamber needs to have a space at the bottom for water to
collect. This allows the calcium chloride to function well for extended
periods of time. As it pulls moisture from the air, it drips to the bottom
of the chamber. The calcium chloride is held above the water by a
circular section of the 1/4 inch wire mesh with a wash cloth spread out
on it. See the following diagram for details. The wash cloth keeps the
calcium chloride from falling through the wire mesh but any water that
forms can drip through it to the bottom of the chamber.
The calcium chloride should be spread out evenly. If you use too large
of a Tupperware bowl, you may have to add some structural strength

to the screen in order for it to support the calcium chloride. You can
simply lay a stick or ruler underneath the mesh and use tie wraps to
secure the mesh to it.
Cut another circular section of mesh so that it fits above the calcium
chloride and leaves a nice air gap. The mushrooms will be placed on
this mesh Grow Magic Mushrooms
