Keeping mushrooms?

Im glad im not the only one who had wierd slime when defrosting mushrooms lol....i did start to wonder if it was just trying to tell me something!

I always remove any plastic/cling film packaging before putting them in the fridge otherwise, as you've discovered, they will sweat.

Mushrooms don't like being stored in plastic bags. If you don't have a brown paper bag to transfer them into, wrapping them in newspaper will work equally well.

Hi there, I do the same as Chameleon, remove any plastic wrapping and store in fridge. I never thought about freezing them - will definitely try that.

Got migraine - forgive crazy typing - here with sunglasses on to see.

I got a Sainsburys delivery tues. Should be spag bol tonight according to meal plan. Mushrooms have just hung on til today (said on delivery less lead time and value mushrooms)

Any ideas?

Desperate to stick to meal plans as first attempt at grocery challenge, switching f&c night to tonight so can cook spag bol tomorrow.

So far this month so not so good and it's only 2nd and hv tomorrow. Sigh.

cook them now and add them cooked to the spag bol at the end of cooking.

slice them and put them in the freezer, you dont need to blanch them first.

Thanks - think will go with freezer idea, but hard moving.

Hi,
Is it possible to freeze raw mushrooms if i just chop them up?
Thanks

Yes, they freeze really well, just put them in a bag and freeze. They'll separate ok when you need them.
