What is the best way to store cultivated mushrooms from the supermarket?
Ken M., San Bernardino, CA You’re in luck. Because September is mushroom month, I happen to have before me a press release sent to me from The Mushroom Council. So here is what they say about storing mushrooms from the supermarket. First of all remove the plastic wrap from the carton. Cover with a paper towel and refrigerate. Or, if you have bought them loose, store them in a porous paper bag in the refrigerator. They need to “breathe” so they don’t rot. Don’t clean them until ready to use and they will keep for several days.
