Question Too dry?

Is it possible to over dry your shrooms when using desiccant? I'm using silicon beads to dry and wanted to store them with the same.

you want your shroomies "cracker dry". pretty much no water. just make sure that there not in a area to hot or with poor air circulation. for storing them, i think sporeworks has oxygen absorbtion pads that will do the trick.

To answer your question. No, I don't think I have ever heard of "Too Dry" shrooms

After you get em good and dry with the dessicant you can stick the shrooms in a papeer sack in the freezer. They will last a long time like that.
