RE: Keeping Fresh Mushrooms Fresh
If you buy any mushrooms fresh, remove the plastic wrap and store them in the refrigerator in a brown paper bag. This will save your mushrooms for a couple of weeks! I was finally able to stop throwing away mushrooms! YAY!

I can't believe I too found a Mushroom Keeper from BW at a thrift store too! I bought it cuz it was unique and I wanted to find out what it was. Now I know! Mine did not say mushrooms on it. Thanks again so much.

RE: Keeping Fresh Mushrooms Fresh
I was wondering if anyone knows how I can ship fresh morels from one end of the U.S. to the other and keep them fresh? How do I package them? What do I put them in? Thanks

My parents did a lot of wild mushroom picking. After cleaning them: Toss whole mushrooms in a pot of boiling water, bring back to a boil, let them cook for a minute. Drain, and immediately put in cold water or pour cold water over them. Drain, put in plastic bags and freeze.
OR: Clean and slice (or chop) the mushrooms, melt butter n a large pan, briefly saute the mushrooms, remove from the pan to cool, put into plastic bags and freeze.

Try using brown paper bags rather than plastic and store in crisper. Mushrooms hold up much better that way.

RE: Keeping Fresh Mushrooms Fresh
I have the greatest thing for keeping mushrooms fresh for 2-3 weeks. I have a MUSHROOM KEEPER. It is about 5 inches high, about 5 inches in diameter. Made of what looks like a clay pot with a glazed inside. Four holes in the lid. On the bottom of container is a sticker that says "Bentson-West Designs, made in Italy for Boston Warehouse" The word MUSHROOMS is etched on side. I found this at The Amana Colonies near Cedar Rapids, Iowa. If you ever find one, grab it, as I have never been able to find another for gals who would like one.

Thanks for this tip. I'm going to try it. I buy mushrooms and I use half of the box and end up throwing the other half because it got spoiled after a few days... Hope this works for me. Thanks for tip again.

RE: Keeping Fresh Mushrooms Fresh
I buy bulk fresh mushrooms & put them in the paper bag that most produce departments provide. If I can get a better deal with packaged ones I transfer them to a paper bag ASAP. They never get slimy that way & if left for quite a long time, they dry out. They can still be used as long as they are not moldy. I purchase paper sandwich bags for this purpose.

RE: Keeping Fresh Mushrooms Fresh
Thanks for the great tip! I usually store mushrooms in the refrigerator in a bowl with a paper towel on top, which seems to help them stay fresh longer than the original packaging, but not for two weeks. I can't wait to try this!
