This will reduce the amount of oxygen inside that could potentially damage them and reduce the potency. The downside of ziplock bags is that they can sometimes leak. Many people will first seal their shrooms in a ziplock bag and then place this in a mason jar for storage. The more layers of protection, the better. Chocolate is a surprisingly great tool for preservation.
You can make your own psilocybin chocolates by grinding your dried shrooms into a powder, melting some chocolate on the stove dark chocolate stores the longest , and mixing in your powdered mushrooms as the chocolate is cooling. Chocolate will seal the magic mushrooms suspended inside from the elements. It blocks UV light and oxygen, which are the primary causes for mushrooms to go bad. Vacuum sealed bags are the next evolution of the ziplock bag. They have the added step of removing all the air from the bag and sealing it with heat.
You can keep your vacuum-sealed bags in the fridge or freezer for maximum shelf-life — just avoid taking them in and out of the freezer. Only pull them out when you intend to use them. Honey is an excellent preserver. While the honey you pick up at your local grocery store will usually suggest a best-before date of around 2 years, honey will store for much, much longer than this. You can use honey as a preservative for your magic mushrooms by placing them in an empty mason jar and then covering the whole bunch in fresh, organic honey.
Any exposed mushrooms will rot. Make sure to opt for honey with the least amount of filtration possible. Your honey should be thick and somewhat cloudy — rather than runny and clear-golden colored. You can choose to powder your mushrooms first or place them in the jar whole. Only perfectly dry mushrooms will work for this method. While in storage, the active ingredients in the mushrooms will diffuse into the honey. When it comes time to use it, you can simply eat the honey directly for the psychoactive effects.
Capsules also do a great job at preserving your magic mushrooms for extended periods of time — but only if a few conditions are met.

Shroom tea is basically a home-made psilocybin extract that can be a lot easier to digest. To make shroom tea, simply grind the dried mushrooms as fine as you can and let them sit in boiled water for about 15 minutes.
After that, strain the mushroom caps and stems and drink the tea. Feel free to add herbs and honey to the water in order to level up the flavor of your shroom tea.
You can simply add your favorite tea bag or experiment by mixing shrooms with natural herbs like lavender, ginger, or chamomile.
By dipping the ground mushrooms into pure lemon juice for about 15 minutes, we can help speed up this process since the citric acid present in the lemon is believed to break down psilocybin into psilocin in advance. By chemically pre-digesting the mushrooms in a cup, they will start their effect sooner and possibly with more intensity.
Those who experiment with mushrooms often talk of the notoriously dreaded bad trip. Bad trips are not necessarily bad, since they can open a catharsis of negative emotions that can purge you from unprocessed trauma.
However, becoming entangled in a personal hell of self-repeating anxiety and anguish is something most people would rather avoid.
If you have a medical condition or take regular medication like antidepressants , you should talk to your doctor before taking shrooms, as psilocybin can interfere with your medication. People who suffer from schizophrenia, psychotic, bipolar I or II disorders are especially advised to lay off shrooms. Psychedelic drugs are known to incite acute psychotic episodes in people with a family history of schizophrenia or psychotic disorders, so you should also avoid psychedelic drugs if a close member of your family has been diagnosed with a disorder in the psychotic spectrum.
