How to store sliced mushrooms in the fridge

Like many other fruits and veggies, most types of mushrooms are highly sensitive to their environment, bruising at the slightest touch or growing slimy if the air is too humid.

Fortunately, you can extend mushrooms' shelf life by taking the proper measures when refrigerating them, whether you bought them whole or sliced.

If your fungi are left whole, you want to keep them dry, so avoid cleaning mushrooms until right before using them.

You should also store them with paper towels underneath and/or in a paper bag to soak up excess moisture, while still allowing airflow. If the towels or bag become visibly wet, swap them out for fresh, dry wrappings. Above all, avoid storing mushrooms in plastic, as this material will lock in moisture and quickly result in spoiled fungi.
