Afternoon all,

 

I am hoping someone might have some experience of using resins to protect/preserve freeze dried plant or fungal material, to make them more durable if handled or on sow

 

I have some super sexy freeze dried fungi and am looking to see if anyone has tried before using resin to reserve them longer term. I was thinking a thinned down paraloid as it is less viscous, but am open to suggestions.

 

Thanks
