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.

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.
