I've refrigerated mushrooms for 5 days until now, and they're turning dark. I'm wondering if it's ok to cook them?? and how long can I keep mushrooms in refrigerator??
If they're still good, take them out, pat them with a paper towel and and put them in a paper bag now. They will keep better. I wrap mine in a paper bag, then put the bag in another paper bag and they'll usually keep for at least a week.I kept them in zipplock bag, so they are moist! Thank you Robo, I'd rather keep them in brown bag next time..
If you have kept your mushrooms in a brown paper properly, then certainly your mushrooms will stay their freshness and quality up to five days only.
The brown paper bag is the way to go........I picked some wild porcini
several weeks ago,....sliced them 1/2" thick and dehydrated them till
they were almost completed dryed,...kept them in a paper bag in a
cool dry place, pulled some out yesterday, soaked them about 10 min.
in cold water and they sauteed just as tho I'd just picked them...they
were excellent........I dunno if other types can be done the same way..
I've frozen (grifola florosa) Hen of the woods, indefinately, w/ similar
results.....................................................................................BH51
if I really have a lot of them I will 'can' them.
are hen of the woods, sheeps head, and oyster mushrooms the same mushroom?
