Brilio.net - There are various types of mushrooms that can be consumed such as button mushrooms, wood ear mushrooms, portabella mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, and oyster mushrooms. Oyster mushrooms are one of the most popular types because of their delicious taste and affordable price. The availability of oyster mushrooms that are easy to find on the market also adds to their popularity.
Oyster mushrooms have various health benefits thanks to their diverse nutritional content. Based on information from healthline.com, oyster mushrooms are rich in antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and bioactive compounds. These nutritional contents are useful for improving heart health, the immune system, controlling blood sugar, and preventing inflammation.
Storing oyster mushrooms as a food stock at home requires special techniques. Even though they are stored in the refrigerator, oyster mushrooms still have a relatively short shelf life. The experience of a netizen named Ranee shows that storing them in the freezer can actually reduce the quality of the freshness of oyster mushrooms, but she has found the right method to extend the shelf life of oyster mushrooms for several days.
"I used to buy fresh mushrooms in large quantities for stock, but it turns out that these fresh mushrooms cannot be stored for long, they must be processed immediately after being purchased so that the quality remains the best. Even so, sometimes there are still fresh mushrooms left over and have to be stored. If stored in the freezer, they do last a long time, but when taken out they will be watery and not fresh," he said as quoted by BrilioFood from YouTube NR Ranee, Monday (10/28).
When the mushrooms have been purchased and landed at home, they should be cleaned immediately. However, according to Ranee, it is better not to clean the mushrooms with water. It is better to just clean the oyster mushrooms using dry tissue or peel them a little with a knife on the part of the mushroom that has dirt.
"If it comes into contact with water before being stored, the next day the mushrooms will be slimy. Usually, the ones that are rotten can no longer be used," he explained.

Well, this time Ranee uses two ways to store her oyster mushrooms as a comparison of which method is most suitable for storing mushrooms. First, she stores them in a tupperware jar without any additional hardener or tissue at all. You can also use any type of jar as long as it is airtight.
For the other part of the oyster mushroom, he put it in a plastic bag by the kilo. The way to store it is by inflating the plastic after the mushroom is put in, then tying it until it is really tight. The oyster mushrooms stored in both ways are then stored together on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator (vegetable shelf).

After several days of storage, Ranee finally concluded that oyster mushrooms stored using plastic are much more durable than jars. After several days, the oyster mushrooms were still good and did not rot, unlike the condition of the mushrooms placed in an airtight jar.
"If you put it in the box, it will still be watery, and it will rot quickly," said Ranee.
