King oyster mushrooms are best stored in the refrigerator. Place them in a paper bag or wrap them loosely in paper towels to absorb excess moisture. Avoid storing them in plastic bags, as this can trap moisture and cause them to spoil more quickly. They can typically last for up to a week when stored properly. Do not wash the mushrooms before storing them, as this can also encourage spoilage. Only wash them right before you intend to cook them.
