Fresh mushrooms are delicate plants that need to be taken care of for a longer period in the refrigerator, especially as they are included in the ingredients of many foods, so it is very useful to preserve them to be able to benefit from them when needed.
Initially the mushrooms should be cleaned by removing dirt and bacteria with a soft, dry cloth, and then covered with a damp cloth to prevent them from drying out. Afterwards, the mushrooms can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days.
Mushrooms can also be salted, because every 3 kg of salt yields 1 kg of mushrooms. This is done in a glass bowl with a layer of salt and mushrooms on top, then salt until the mushrooms are completely immersed, then put in a cool place. When using salted mushrooms, they should be soaked in cold water before cooking and are usually recommended for cooking with meat. Some people dry the mushrooms and grind them into a fine powder for use in some dishes, and they need to be sealed and stored in a cool place.
