Storing, Cleaning, & Preserving Mushrooms

How do I store mushrooms?

Fresh mushrooms will last 5-7 days after purchase. Store them in the fridge in a paper bag or open container. Do not use plastic bags!

Do I need to Clean Mushrooms?

Trim off the very bottom of the stem. Indoor grown mushrooms are generally clean, but if needed, use a vegetable brush or paper towel to gently brush off any dirt.

Can I preserve Mushrooms?

You can dry your mushrooms in a dehydrator or in the oven on low heat (100-175 F). You can also sauté, allow to cool, and store in the freezer.
