It's much better to dehydrate mushrooms for storage. I think it improves the flavor of them for many dishes. You can rehydrate them by saoking in warm water for about 15 minutes, or just adding to your dish with a bit extra liquid. Anne

For what we use them for, I clean them and fry them in a little bit of olive oil and butter, along with onions and/or garlic, cool, and freeze in a freezer-baggie.

Yes you can. I do it all the time. I do not wash the msuchrooms first. Instead I shake or brush them off and lay them on a cutting board to freeze. After they are frozen I put them in freezer bags. When I am ready to use them I wash them off. They will be soft and dark when they thaw but that will happen when you cook them anyway.

For what you're going to use them for, yes, you can. Here are two choices:
Freezing Raw (Freeze whole, for use within 3 months) :
Choose very fresh mushrooms; wipe with a clean cloth to remove dirt. Place each a little apart on a baking tray and open-freeze as quickly as possible. When mushrooms are frozen, pack into containers, fit on a lid and replace in freezer. Use within 3 months. Use straight from the freezer for pies, casseroles or stews or thaw for about 1 hour and use as required.
Freezing, Par-boiled:
Wash raw mushrooms. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt to 1 quart rapidly boiling water. To keep mushrooms white, add 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice to water. Add mushrooms. Let water come to a boil again. Boil mushrooms 3 minutes. Rinse with cold water. Drain thoroughly. Seal in plastic bags. Freeze. Will keep about one year.

I took some frozen stuffed mushrooms out of the freezer the other day and baked them in the oven and they ended up in the wastebasket. They were soft and slimey. I think they are best used fresh.
Can you freeze fresh mushrooms and cooked ones?

I wash, slice, and add a little oil and vinegar to retain the color and saute for few minutes cool and store in an airtight container and freeze.
A Guide to Freezing Mushrooms. Choose mushrooms that are free from spots and decay. It's best to purchase commercially grown mushrooms.
Wipe and slice mushroom. Add 1 tablespoon lemon juice to 2 cups of cold water. Add mushrooms, and let stand for 5 minutes. Discard and saute' in oil or butter, or steam in a veggie steamer. Cool and freeze. The color doesn't change.
