I have never ever ordered any magic truffles. I have never even had them. So I am hoping to ask questions about them:
With liberty caps, I have always picked them and then dried and stored them in little plastic bags I try and get as much air out as possible. And I have had success with this.
How does that compare with storing magic truffles? Can you dry them out? I have heard they go rock hard and so would break your teeth to eat them, unlike dried shrooms.
So what is solutions for storing them. Please can you give simplified answer, and I will ask for more detail
Here is what I know--or think I know
As said, to dry them they go rock hard. So they'd be impossible to chew and eat
But they can be kept for up to 3 months in a fridge if in an airtight container? Could this just be a plastic bag you squeeze around them and then tie opening closed with elastic band (I dont wanna pay up to £40 and fkuc them up lol
I have heard you can make tea which you can freeze. Does this mean cutting up the truffles and then pouring hot water on them, and then straining water and freezing it in icecube holders? What about the strained truffles refuse. Does it still have any potency left or do you just throw it in the recycled bin?
Is there any way of preserving cut up truffles in honey, or any other stuff like that?
All ideas welcome.
What I have been doing lately with dried shrooms is having 10 a week. How could I guess the approximate equivalent measure of truffles, be it whole/pieces of the truffle or tea? Remember, approx?
