Features of storing mushrooms at home depend on the form in which you purchased them: they are fresh, dry or pickled. The difference concerns many factors, namely the shelf life, temperature, preparation and compliance with certain rules. We suggest that you familiarize yourself with the recommendations on how to properly store mushrooms.
Storage rules
Experienced housewives say: the most effective storage of mushrooms at home implies compliance with several important rules.
- Mushrooms absorb odors like a sponge. Therefore, do not keep them near strong-smelling foods: herbs, spices, garlic or onions.
- Try to avoid sudden changes in temperature. This will negatively affect the taste and appearance of the product.
- Do not store fresh and dried mushrooms in cellophane bags. Lack of air will cause mold to form.
In addition to the general rules, there are individual features for each storage method.
fresh mushrooms
Before storing fresh mushrooms in the refrigerator, a number of preparatory measures must be taken. Rinse harvested or purchased mushrooms under running water. Type cold water into a basin or bath, pour 100–200 g of salt and leave them in the prepared solution for 6–12 hours. This is necessary so that worms and insects come out of them. After the specified time, remove the mushrooms from the water and carefully sort them out. Cut off damaged and damaged areas. Put the dried mushrooms in a deep container, cover with paper napkins and place in the refrigerator.
Remember that the shelf life of mushrooms in the refrigerator depends on the temperature of the air in it. So, at temperatures from +7 to +10 ° C, they will last no more than 17 hours. In conditions from 0 to +5 ° C, the shelf life will be 1-3 days. At temperatures from -2 to 0 ° C, mushrooms can be stored for about 4 days. It is not recommended to keep mushrooms in the refrigerator for more than the indicated periods, since over time harmful substances begin to form in them.
Marinated mushrooms
When storing pickled and salted mushrooms, keep them in a cool and dark place. The air temperature should not exceed +18°С. The basement is best suited for these purposes. At home, pickled mushrooms will keep well in the refrigerator.
To increase the shelf life of pickled blanks, use glass jars and the same lids. In this case, the shelf life will be about 2 years. If the jar is closed with a tin lid, mushrooms must be consumed within a year.
dried mushrooms
for storage dried mushrooms It is best to use fabric and paper bags. They will not obstruct the penetration of air, protect stocks from dust and insects, and prevent the development of mold. Well-dried mushrooms can be stored in glass jars with a hermetically sealed lid or in vacuum containers.
For storage in a glass jar, mushrooms must be thoroughly dried and the lid tightly closed.
The shelf life of dried mushrooms is 1–1.5 years at an air temperature not higher than + 20 ° C and a humidity of about 60–65%. Moreover, if the mushrooms are stored in "breathing" bags, the room must be well ventilated, free of foreign odors and darkened.
For storage in a glass jar, mushrooms must be thoroughly dried and the lid tightly closed. To achieve tightness and protect stocks from bacteria, you can do this: moisten the inside of the lid with a small amount of alcohol, set it on fire and twist the jar. In this case, all the oxygen in the jar will burn out and a vacuum is formed, which favorably affects the safety of products and shelf life.
Freeze
Freezing is the ideal way to store fresh mushrooms. This method allows mushrooms to be stored in the freezer for 4 to 12 months. In order for the mushrooms not to lose their nutritional value under the influence of cold, it is recommended to blanch them beforehand.
Rinse the mushrooms in cold water. Soak briefly in saline solution. Cut large stems and caps into quarters. Pat dry lightly, then plunge into boiling water for 1-2 minutes. This is blanching. Let the mushrooms cool and dry. Place in bags and freeze. The optimum temperature for long storage is -18°С.
Now you know how to properly store mushrooms at home. Always keep an eye on temperature, humidity and odors. If you can’t cook fresh mushrooms in the near future, freeze them immediately. From time to time sort through the stocks of dry mushrooms. It is better to spend time on a careful inspection than to throw away all the workpieces later. Remember that if stored improperly, mushrooms begin to deteriorate after a few hours. Therefore, carefully inspect them before cooking. If you doubt the quality of the product, it is better to refuse to use it.
And it is desirable to boil immediately

Mushrooms are laid out on a baking sheet and dried in the oven with the door ajar. The temperature must be very low so that the liquid evaporates gradually and so that the mushrooms do not burn.
Completely dry, tough mushrooms are best stored in glass jars with screw caps. Their shelf life is practically unlimited. For dried dishes, soak them in water the day before.
Mushroom powder can be obtained by grinding dried mushrooms. The powder is used as a seasoning, and a good housewife always has it in stock. So, for example, mushroom powder from serolamellar false foam is an indispensable additive for refining meat dishes and sauces.

For short-term storage, mushrooms should be put in enamel pan, colander or sieve and, without covering with a lid, send to the refrigerator. You don't need to wash them. You can also wrap mushrooms in paper bags or put them in plastic containers with holes at the bottom.
But harvested in rainy weather, wet and with sticky mud, mushrooms can soften and become unusable very quickly, so it's best to cook them immediately after coming home.
There is another way to store these products. Mushrooms need to be washed, cleaned, boiled for 20-30 minutes, then change the water and boil for another 10 minutes. Mushrooms treated in this way will stand in the refrigerator for another day, after which they must be cooked.
Boiled mushrooms can also be frozen. To do this, they need to be dried in a colander, packed in containers and put in the freezer. With fresh mushrooms, you can do the following: rinse them, dry them, cut them into pieces, removing stains (if the mushrooms are small, you can freeze them whole), pack them in bags (or put them in special freezer trays) and store in the freezer for a whole year.
It is important to properly prepare mushrooms for long-term storage. It is very convenient to freeze them in portions so that you can get and cook them one by one. Fried mushrooms can also be stored in the freezer, but not more than six months.

To prevent the mushrooms from turning black, stainless steel knives are used.
When stored in the refrigerator, this period increases, mushrooms can be stored up to a week, so they should be stored in the refrigerator in the store.
In any case, when purchasing mushrooms in a store, cook mushrooms immediately after purchase, because before they hit the counter, mushrooms were packaged and stored in a warehouse, and the shelf life of this product is still not long. Always ask when the mushrooms were harvested and when they were delivered to the store. Mushrooms, which are very common in our stores, remain at room temperature and continue to grow and ripen for some time. This negatively affects their taste, so avoid buying champignons not from the refrigerator.
Processed mushrooms have a much longer shelf life. So, salted mushrooms can be stored in the refrigerator for up to six months, and pickled and pasteurized up to 8 months. The shelf life of pasteurized mushrooms can be increased up to 1 year if stored at a temperature below +15 degrees. Dried mushrooms keep longer. Their shelf life at proper preparation at least one year. The same shelf life is given for frozen mushrooms at a temperature not higher than -18 degrees. You can also freeze fried and stewed mushrooms, but for them you can store in the freezer only two to three months.

Both humus and compost are rightfully the basis of organic farming. Their presence in the soil significantly increases the yield and improves the taste of vegetables and fruits. In terms of properties and appearance, they are very similar, but they should not be confused. Humus - rotted manure or bird droppings. Compost - rotted organic residues of various origins (spoiled food from the kitchen, tops, weeds, thin twigs). Humus is considered a better fertilizer, compost is more accessible.
Natural toxins are found in many plants; no exception, and those that are grown in gardens and vegetable gardens.
