How do I properly store mushrooms?

Question

Someone gave me a link on how long to store veggies and it says not to store them in plastic bags. I had put mine in ziplock, I doubt it will hurt me but how am I supposed to store them?

Answer 1

These elegant vegetables are actually the fruit of underground fungi. Try not to store them for long, or you'll lose the delicate flavor.

STEP 1: If the mushrooms are prepackaged, leave them in the packaging.

STEP 2: If the mushrooms are loose, place them in a paper bag and loosely fold the top of the bag over, or place them in a glass container and cover it with a dish towel or moist paper towel. Be sure to allow air circulation.

STEP 3: Store the mushrooms in the refrigerator, but not in the crisper.

STEP 4: Use the mushrooms within a few days, or within a week if they are packaged and unopened.

Store dried mushrooms in a cool, dark place.
