Do truffles need to be kept in the fridge or else they won't work? or are they fine just sitting in a drawer?

do you think they would still be okay to take?
Personally every time I've had truffles I've stored them in the fridge right up until I use them.
They maybe fine, they may not, I'm not too sure because fungus does have a habit of 'sweating'. Maybe if you put some silica gel in with them?
I think the best bet is to e-mail PotSeeds and see if they have any advice they can give, I don't even know if the truffles 'dry out' or not, never tried. But I know with normal mushrooms if you put them in a dark, dry place they'll dry out, but also, become class A.
Sorry I'm not too sure to be honest mate.
:eek2:
The active ingredients will degrade the longer you leave them out, and silica gel won't stop it - that only helps absorb excess moisture.

I've left them since Saturday sitting there...i hope they are okay :nervous:
Pack them in a bucket of ice and stick them in the cupboard then
Maybe some sort of container of ice with them it...would that work?
Yeah that'll be them sweating. If I were you I'd just hide them in the fridge behind something you think they won't move then just take it round to a mates asap or something?
I remember once I had some mushrooms (only about a trips worth luckily) in my bag that I needed to take via town, wrapped in newspaper, and when I got them out, they were floating in a puddle of moisture. :eek2:
If they're going slimey I think you'll need to do something before they become useless.
Well yes they are sweating then
I will do something about it quite soon.
Hopefully.
Not a clue. I wouldn't leave them lying about any longer than you absolutely need to though.
BTW - how long did they take to be delivered?
they took a day to come but they were lying around in the post office for 2 days before i recieved them because i wasn't there when they arrived.
Just out of curiousity... they were send to you by regular post?
Is it ok to send "goods" by regular post? Because if it was ok... it would be very helpful for me...
Although I'm sure if the police could be bothered they could make a case out of it, why else would you want them?
As for other 'goods', well it really comes down to the smell, obviously a parcel stinking of puff might well get you some attention but a slim envelpe with 10 tabs of cid in it isnt going to get noticed.
In the UK any mail is technicaly the property of the Queen till it is delivered so getting a warrent to open anything is hard. What they would normaly do is wait till arrived then raid you, if they thought anything was going on.
If you are going to do it then I'd advise not to do it accross boarders or airmail within a country (N.Ireland from London for example) because then theres going to be more checks. Also sending it 'express' or special delivery will mean it will get there quicker and hopefully the post office men wont tea leaf it.
Really? Are they like reasonably priced or extortionate? I wonder if prices would fall around the late September time..
And Shogun: Yeah that slimeyness will be them sweating which I bet will eventually make the go mouldy. Just keep them cool or eat them asap.
