Hello, if you are talking about the change from 5.95 mg/g to 5.98 mg/g these numbers are basically the same and considered within the error of the assay. This is a difference of 30 micrograms, a very small amount.
Cheers,

both = 6mg/g
anything else is likely false precision.
Edit: and now that I’ve got connectivity, and @anon56994712’s pic loaded, I’d have to say they ALL read as 6mg/g to me.

Even a 2% difference between the same sample is acceptable so there could be zero degredation.
The other study showed like 40% at day 30, definitely not that.
Thanks for your suggestion of just simply powdering them with a blender. We can see here it is nearly homogenous. A second benefit to these tests

RSD is within 10%, good enough for ORLAP!

How are mushrooms usually marketed the only way that I could think of is to be it like a Grateful Dead show it’s not like weed where people use it everyday and s*** like that it’s already bad when I give the poker table my Edibles and they get f***** up I don’t want to try and give them a shrooms at the poker room

Not necessarily true.
There ARE a dedicated subset that mircodose on a daily basis.

Yep like MICRO DOSING MOMS 
I always used damp rid to dry, and I don’t see any mention here of dessicants as a drying method. Wire screen over the damp rid in a closed Rubbermaid container, wet to crispy in about three days. Because the container is sealed, I think minimal oxidation occurs, as opposed to air drying.

I use it every day
See results from @anon56994712 above.
All samples tested at essentially the same potency.
Which means (by definition) that they were homogeneous.

This very limited data set "sort of supports my hunch which is there is an initial potency loss due to storage method, then loss plateaus for a significant period of time if stored in dark, low to no oxygen environment.

I wonder if the fact that the fruits were pulverized and then stored degraded the freeze dried fruit in a more significant way that the air dried fruit?
I’ve recently met the man who gifted the culture, as well as seen screenshots confirming his story. He wanted to remain anonymous, but never thought credit would be taken from him.

Oh for sure when I started I only took 3 sets of samples, wish I took more. I actually do have the original powdered pound but it was stored in a Turkey bag. I plan on testing it but the data is compromised because it wasn’t stored the same / correctly … unless it shows no degradation
Even with that limited data it goes against that one study out there that shows 50% degradation in 60 days. Also it is confirmed that a blender can get you a homogeneous powder
Maybe I’ll get those incorrectly stored samples out to flourish today

I’d there any way to store that can preserve the actives?
He’s made statements about it and posted a few screenshots of their discord messages in the fb myco groups under an alt name so he’s not trying very well at staying anon, or at least he wasn’t at one point. Dudes been a big part of the enigma community on FB.
Most research I’ve found shows storing it in the dark at room temp (20c or 68f) as a dried powder has the least degredation. While fresh fruits frozen at -80c had the most degredation.

Im thinking a reason why their testing could be so different is how potent their biomass was to start
15mg/g starting, 40% degradation in 30 days to around 9mg/g
then ultimately down to 5mg/g where it ends.
15mg/g is extremely potent for biomass and I think around 7mg per gram is where the average is at. Maybe those higher potencies are subject to faster degradation

Yeah further testing is definitely needed on the subject.
I observed that species of biomass that have any blue colored bruising and certainly if methanol extract rapidly turns blue the ratios of psilocin to psilocybin drastically favored psilocin and were overall less potent. If it stays yellow even after maceration and sonication the psilocybin made up nearly the entire composition of actives. The strains I saw that seemed to behave less of how I am suggesting are “enzymatically” active were hillbilly, yeti, and thrasher. Golden teachers and PE I saw all had blue color on extraction.
