Golden Oyster Mushrooms

Storage and Shelf-Life

Our Golen Oyster mushrooms are the most delicate of all mushrooms we grow. Handle and transport them with care to avoid damaging them.

It has a shelf life of 3-5 days (when stored correctly in the bottom vegetable drawer of a fridge in a paper bag).

Best eaten immediately after purchase for optimal enjoyment.

Mushrooms should never be stored in plastic bags as the plastic can rapidly deteriorate the mushroom’s flesh.

TIP: To extend the shelf life of your mushrooms, you can place a damp paper towel (just damp, not wet) in the bottom of the paper bag when you put your mushrooms in the fridge, this will prevent your mushrooms drying out.
