Whole, raw mushrooms will keep from 4-7 days in the refrigerator, while sliced mushrooms will last 1-2 days. It’s always recommended that mushrooms should be kept in a paper bag in the fridge to keep them fresher for longer.
The many health benefits of mushrooms
Mushrooms are rich in niacin to fight fatigue and boost energy.
Can you freeze mushrooms?
You can definitely freeze mushrooms and it’s a great idea if you want to save them before they wilt. To freeze mushrooms, sauté them for a couple minutes, allow them to cool, then store them in an air-tight ziplock bag. Sautéing your mushrooms before freezing them might sound strange but this step is important for locking in flavour and texture to ensure they’re as tasty as possible once you go to use them.
Can you eat mushrooms raw?
Eating most mushrooms raw has been found to be safe, as long as the mushrooms you’re choosing to eat raw have been sourced from a grocery store (and not from the wild!). Check out this list of mushrooms that are safe and unsafe to consume raw for more information.
How to dry mushrooms
Dried mushrooms are a great addition to soups and stews, or, simply enjoyed as a protein-rich healthy snack alternative. To dry mushrooms without a dehydrator, lay the mushrooms out whole on a baking sheet in a baking tray and leave them in a well ventilated area, and in the sun if possible. Allow them to air-dry for 7-10 days or until they don’t give when squeezed. Once dried, your dehydrated mushrooms can be stored in a container for up to two years!
