How to Keep Mushrooms Fresh for Weeks | Save Money on Groceries

If you’re tired of mushrooms going slimy after just a few days, this video will show you how to store mushrooms so they stay fresh longer and help you save money on groceries. With a few simple storage tips, you can keep mushrooms crisp, flavorful, and usable for up to 3 weeks instead of tossing them after a couple of days. Reducing food waste starts with proper storage, and mushrooms are one of the easiest produce items to extend when you know the right method.

Before storing mushrooms, do not wash them. Instead, gently wipe them with a paper towel to remove any dirt. Once they’re clean and dry, you can store them in one of the two ways:

• Brown paper bag in the refrigerator: great for airflow and preventing moisture buildup
• Glass jar in the fridge with a paper towel: keeps mushrooms fresh and visible so you remember to use them

If you use the glass jar method, be sure to replace the paper towel after about 2 weeks to absorb excess moisture and keep your mushrooms fresh even longer. Both of these methods help maintain the right humidity and prevent mushrooms from getting slimy.
