HOW TO CHOOSE MUSHROOM
I have shared some tips for choosing a good quality mushrooms if you are a first time buyer.I got these tips from here and here
- Look for firm, white mushrooms without any discoloration or bruises.
- Choose the mushrooms that are free from spots and decay.The whiter the fresher it would be.
- Button mushrooms have white caps but other mushroom varieties come in varying shades of brown and cream.
- Choose the ones with with short,clean-cut stems and caps that are either closed around the stems or slightly open ( as shown in the above picture), and with pink or light-tan gills.
- On the underside of the mushroom, the gills(black part) should be tight.Gills will spread open as mushrooms age.So buy closed ones.
HOW TO STORE MUSHROOM
- For storage, refrigerate your mushrooms in a paper bag to make them last longer.Keep them covered.
- Use within a few days of purchasing.(1-2 days)

HOW TO CLEAN MUSHROOMS
Though the cleaning process seems longer, it can be done in minutes. I referred sharmis passions and some more websites for this topic.
