Storage Guidelines

Commercial storage guidance for fresh button mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus). Storage life depends on initial quality, maturity, cultivar and handling; this is not a household shelf-life guarantee.

High humidity is essential to prevent drying and loss of gloss, but condensation in packages must be avoided; slightly warmer storage speeds browning, stem elongation and veil opening, and ethylene browns the caps. Highest freezing point: -0.6°C. Source: USDA Agriculture Handbook 66 (rev. 2016).
