How to store fresh mushrooms

When buying fresh mushrooms, look for ones with closed gills with smooth, firm caps. Avoid ones that have brown spots or cracks. You also don’t want mushrooms that are moist or shriveled.

Keep your mushrooms unwashed until you use them. If you buy your mushrooms in a container, leave them in it until you are ready to use them. The containers they put mushrooms in are made to breathe, enabling them to release the ethylene gas they give off.

The plastic wrap will keep the mushrooms fresh until you break the seal. Once you break the seal, leave the remaining mushrooms in the container and cover them with more plastic wrap.

Cremini mushrooms will last four to seven days in the refrigerator.

How to clean cremini mushrooms

You don’t want to wash or soak mushrooms because they are porous and will absorb the water. Try cleaning them with a damp cloth or paper towel.

If your mushrooms have a lot of dirt on them, use a soft mushroom brush. Rinse them with water and immediately dry them thoroughly. Use them right away, otherwise the water will make them get slimy.

Trim the stems on whole mushrooms before slicing.
