Store mushrooms in a paper bag or a breathable container in the refrigerator to prevent moisture buildup and extend freshness. Avoid washing them before storage, as excess moisture can cause spoilage. If you need to freeze mushrooms, clean and slice them first, then blanch or sauté before freezing in an airtight container. Use within a week when refrigerated or up to 6 months when frozen.
