Paper bags are commonly recommended for storing mushrooms. The paper bag will absorb moisture from the mushrooms, so consider putting the paper bag in a larger perforated plastic bag. This two-bag system will allow the mushrooms to breathe but not go dry. Store mushrooms on the refrigerator shelf, and not necessarily in the vegetable crisper drawer. Mushrooms absorb odors like a sponge, so keep them away from foods with strong aromas. Properly stored mushrooms should last several days. Don't clean or chop mushrooms until you're ready to use them. Mushrooms should not be frozen unless first blanched, then covered in the blanching water before being put into the freezer. They are good candidates for drying, canning, and pickling.

How To Store Mushrooms

Make sure to put them in a paper bag in the fridge.
Do not store in plastic bag as they will sweat and lose their water content.

In a paper bag in the vegetable crisper - in fact, a lot of grocery stores will have paper bags by the mushrooms if you buy them loose.

depends if you are buying dried mushrooms or the fresh ones. dried mushrooms can be kept at room temperature in a plastic bag. whereas, fresh ones is best kept wrapped up in paper and kept in the refrigerator at the vegetable compartment. hope this helps.

keep them cool in the refrigerator and inside a paper bag.....do NOT clean them until just before you want to cook or eat them, and then don't run water over them because they will absorb the water and become tough.
just wipe them off with a damp paper towel to clean them!

Keep them in the fridge, they stay fresh and last longer.

I've read that you should keep them in the vegetable drawer in a paper bag.
