Mushrooms must be stored in the refrigerator and are best when
used within several days of purchase. They should be handled
with care, because fresh mushrooms bruise easily. Unopened packs
of mushrooms store well in the refrigerator, but once the mushroom
pack has been opened, they will keep better if stored in a paper
bag. Avoid air-tight containers as this causes moisture condensation
which speeds spoilage. The ideal way to clean mushrooms is
to wipe them clean with paper towel or a damp cloth. Mushrooms
should not be soaked in water as they absorb water like a
sponge.
A quick rinse in cold water is fine, as long as you pat them
dry with paper towelling straight away. Clean only the mushrooms
you’ll be using - unwashed mushrooms will last longer
in your refrigerator
