Store mushrooms in the refrigerator, ideally in a paper bag to allow airflow and prevent moisture buildup, which can cause spoilage. Avoid washing them before storage, as excess moisture can lead to faster decay. If you need to store them for longer periods, consider freezing them after lightly sautéing to preserve their flavor and texture.
