Tips to Keep Your Mushrooms Fresh

Keeping your oyster mushrooms fresh is key to unlocking their maximum flavor and potential health benefits. Here are some handy tips:

Ditch the plastic! Fresh mushrooms thrive in breathable environments. Store them loosely in a brown paper bag being even better. If using plastic, keep the bag slightly open to allow for air circulation. Plastic traps moisture, leading to faster spoilage.

Avoid the crisper drawer! It’s too humid for mushrooms, making them slimy and shortening their lifespan.

Remember, mushrooms are like tiny sponges. Don’t wash them until right before use, as excess moisture can accelerate spoilage. If needed, wipe them clean with a damp cloth. If storing for more than a day, consider placing a slightly damp paper towel inside the bag to absorb any excess moisture without making it soggy.

While proper storage extends their lifespan, fresh mushrooms are best enjoyed within 5-7 days. Be sure to inspect them regularly for signs of spoilage, like discoloration, sliminess, or strong odors. If unsure, err on the side of caution and discard them.

If you have leftovers or anticipate exceeding their shelf life, consider preserving or freezing them! Blanch briefly in boiling water, cool quickly, and store in an airtight container. While texture may change slightly, frozen mushrooms are great for soups, stews, or sauces.
