Storage
Fresh mushrooms are best stored in the refrigerator
Do not clean your mushrooms until just before use in order to preserve their delicate structure. When ready to prepare, gently brush away any debris with a soft-bristle brush. Washing is not necessary and may damage their texture.
Fresh mushrooms should feel firm and dry to the touch. If they become overly soft or develop a slimy surface, it’s best to discard them.
