Keeping Mushrooms Fresh

To stop mushrooms sweating and fungal growth when in the fridge, remove them from the plastic packaging and place in a brown paper bag like the ones used in supermarkets that you place loose mushrooms in. They will not sweat in the bag but may become dehydrated if left unused for a while. But that's not a problem - just drop them into clean water for a few hours and they will re-hydrate. No more waste!
