I heard that if you have alot of mushrooms you can grind them down and put them in alcohol for long time storage. I don´t have alot of mushrooms yet but the season is on in my country and so far ive found a few trips  With the weather i might have a few more weeks of searching and hopefully i can find enough to make it worth trying this out. What i wonder is if anyone have tried this and if 40% vodka would work?

I have heard that honey is a good storage media but never vodka.

so ive found about 600 liberty caps last season and have some mazatapec cubes on the way (hopefully the mold god won´t fuck up my grow)
Anyway this has made me abit nervous since i will have a good years supply of shrommies laying around and that just feels bad.
If i would dry and powderize a bunch of the shrommies how would they hold up in vodka? i might try some honey aswell but i guess it would show that there was something laying in the honey right?
whereas a black booze bottle would be abit more stealthy.

Honey all the way. PERIOD. "Eat your vegetables and do as you're told, or you won't be going to the funfair!"

too messy, imo. good for preserving tho I prefer fast methanol extraction and evap under vac. ethanol works too, even dilute ethanol (just heat it in a hot water bath) "Nothing is true, everything is permitted." ~ hassan i sabbah

Do you evap it down to a goo? If your religion, faith, devotion, or self proclaimed spirituality is not directly leading to an increase in kindness, empathy, compassion and tolerance for others then you have been misled.

yes, a slightly off-white colored resin that is stupid potent. this can be made into a tea, as the embedded psilocybin is quite stable. I underestimated how potent this stuff was, there's no real way of dosing it, because it's not just alks, it's also a mixture of intracellular fungal proteins and carbs.

I'm quite interested in your methanol extraction method benz. Could you elaborate? This, what I'm experiencing now, is a whole new level of my being.
