Storage and Handling

  • Immediately refrigerate after receiving. Store between 34°-38°F and 85-90%
    humidity. Avoid air flow from coolers.

  • Store in original containers, non-porous plastic accelerates deterioration.

  • Do not store near pungent items as mushrooms may absorb strong odors.

  • Do not stack heavy items on top of mushroom containers.

  • Do not wash before storage. When ready to use, wipe gently with damp cloth or soft brush to remove dirt. For volume preparation, quickly rinse in cool water; drain. Shake gently to remove excess water. Do not soak mushrooms because they absorb water which speeds up deterioration.
