The Best Way To Store Mushrooms

It can be hard to keep mushrooms from getting moldy and slimy when storing.

Mushrooms are a powerful umami ingredient and have a meaty texture many of us love.

However, they spoil quickly without proper storage.

So you need to choose firm, dry, earthy-smelling mushrooms.

But did you know that mushrooms last longer when kept whole?

Here are the best storage options for keeping your mushrooms fresh.

Original Container:  Fine for up to 3 days. Store in the fridge and use quickly.

Bowl with Paper Towels:  Lasts 4-5 days. Line a bowl with paper towels, add mushrooms, and cover with more paper towels.
