could I store a few fresh caps, in a paper bag, in the fridge for 3 to 4 weeks?
will they go bad?
I prefer them fresh since I feel they are way more potent.
thanksss

Could they be frozen while fresh then defrosted? That would seem like a good way to store fresh mushrooms.

1) Treat fresh mushrooms like meat. Do you store fresh meat for weeks? 5-7 days max. Do not put them in a closed, airtight container. This will encourage rot as they host bacteria. A paper bag or gently wrapped in a paper kitchen towel is fine.
2) You cannot freeze fresh mushrooms. The freezing water they contain (around 90%) will burst their cell walls (ever forgot a liquid filled glass bottle in the freezer? Yeah...) and turn them into a nasty goop once thawed. Nothing you want to put in your mouth unless you like eating slimey things. They'll still be active but nasty. The only storage method that works reliably for over a week is to dry them.

If I were you I'd make a batch of tea and freeze it in a plastic water bottle maybe. Remember tea goes bad so you must freeze/drink within a few days. Or just dry them

if you must have them fresh then, put in a blender and blend to a pulp, then freeze completely..........other wise like the others have said anything over a week you'll have to dry. good luck......

Dry them
You will not loose that much... Much better than trying to keep them and have them spoil and be tossed or make you sick
I would guess, with proper drying you will not be disappointed

because its gonna break down down anyway, split (baggies or whatever) into three doses, other wise dry them its not that hard ,youve got the time , and you wont lose any potency dude, and if your worried about losing any kick then lemon tek it and freeze ,,,,,,,, i dont what else to tell you , enjoy
