    Silica Gel Drying Canisters for Dried Mushroom Storage (25-Count)

    Price: $7.99

    Silica gel drying canisters keep dried mushrooms from picking up moisture in storage. Drop a few into a bag, jar or container and the 2g of silica gel in each vented canister soaks up humidity to help prevent mold. They can also finish an almost-dry batch: seal a handful in the bag and it's typically cracker-dry within about 24 hours.

    Why use silica gel canisters

    Absorbs moisture

    Pulls humidity out of the air inside bags, jars and containers so dried mushrooms stay crisp.

    Finishes drying

    A handful in the bag can finish off an almost-dry batch within about 24 hours.

    Contained and clean

    A vented, food-safe plastic housing keeps the silica gel inside the canister and out of your harvest.

    How to use them

    1Dry first

    Make sure mushrooms are fully dried, or nearly there, before storage.

    2Bag or jar them

    Use a zip-lock freezer bag, mylar bag, jar or airtight container.

    3Add canisters

    Use 4–5 canisters per ½ oz of dried mushrooms, then seal.

    4Store cool and dark

    Keep it out of sunlight, and swap canisters if the container is exposed to moisture.

    Storing longer than six months? canisters are best for short- to medium-term storage. For long-term storage, the Microppose Smart Storage Lid lets you watch and control the humidity inside a mason jar.

    Frequently asked questions

    How many canisters do I need?

    About 4–5 canisters per ½ ounce of dried mushrooms.

    Can they finish drying my mushrooms?

    Yes, if they're almost dry. Seal a handful in the bag with the mushrooms and they're typically fully dry within about 24 hours. A fresh harvest needs a dehydrator or drying rack first.

    How long can I store dried mushrooms with them?

    They're best for about 1–6 months. For longer storage, use the Microppose Smart Storage Lid.

    Is the silica contained?

    Yes. Each canister has a vented, food-safe plastic housing that keeps the silica gel inside while it absorbs moisture.

    What containers do they work with?

    Zip-lock freezer bags, mylar bags, jars and other airtight containers.
