Shelf-Life
Fresh whole mushrooms can be kept for up 10 days in the fridge, while fresh sliced mushrooms can last for up to 7 days. Cooked mushrooms can last for between 7 – 10 days in the fridge. Here's how to store mushrooms for maximum freshness. If you store fresh mushrooms correctly, they'll stay good for up to 10 days.
Storage Tips
The secret to mushroom storage is that they stay fresh longer if you take them out of their container. Wrap them in paper towels placed in open plastic bags (paper bags are even better) and keep them in the fridge.
Storage Temperature
Cold or chill storage may use a slightly lower temperature (–1 to –4oC), depending upon the freshness of the mushrooms to be refrigerated. Freezing is done at a temperature of below -18oC.
A shipment description, or parcel information, is asked in those rare cases that a courier company is trying to locate your parcel because it became unreadable due to a fallen off label or an unreadable label. We will go through the process and tell you what parcel information you have to give.
The shipment or order details, on the contrary, is a summary of all the information regarding a parcel that a shipper wants to send to a receiver. It contains information about the pick-up and delivery address and contact person. It is of great importance to us and the courier that we are fully aware of the content of the parcel (it’s weight, dimensions, specific content, …) because it helps us to asses which service would be the safest and cheapest for you. Having a thorough parcel content description will avoid problems during transport, for example when a courier has to pick up a parcel that is much heavier and bigger than mentioned.
