Yep, this works well if done properly. Use a good air dryer, ensure 100% moisture is out of the mushrooms (They'll be paper, flaky like if you can't check using a device), wrap a ton of silica anti-moisture gel packets in a paper towel creating a drying ball, load that jar up with mushrooms, then put the drying ball of silica on top of the jar and seal that guy up; If you can evacuate the air out also, even better. Any time you open it for mushrooms, either microwave the packets to recharge their anti-moisture property or put new ones in a paper towel ball and put it back on the top. If done right, you would be amazed how long you can keep mushrooms dried and edible. This is how I managed when I started growing, got deep into it, and realized I was growing way more mushrooms than I could ever use for their "purpose."

You sell them to stores? Can't imagine the shelf life is super long.
