Need advice on storage of fresh mushrooms

Hey everyone,
It's my first time using tubs and they have matured beautifully and it has come time to chop em down. One thing I neglected to plan out was how I was going to store these things the next few days as my dehydrator can only fit so much inside of it and it would probably be days before some of these fine specimens entered the dehydrator. I'm worried they are going to get moldy or start rotting while they sit around waiting to be dried. What can I do to keep this from happening?

Paper bag in the fridge, no different than any other mushroom they last a week or so but its best to get them dry as soon as possible. You can also make tea with them and freeze it, that lasts for over a year.

Keep in the fridge in a baggie, paper would be ideal but plastic works too. They can last about a week in the fridge and still stay fresh.

In the fridge wrapped in paper towels. If you want you can spray the towels with some peroxide that will keep them even better.

Since I don't leave them for the full week that mushrooms are generally thought to be good for, I just stick them in the fridge in a metal or glass bowl, covered with saran wrap, and labeled with date and weight. Since my cakes are all fruiting at different rates, I usually wait until I have harvested between 150 and 200 grams before tossing them into the dehydrator.

I stored a lot of mush in my fridge. I don't use a bag or wrap and it's fine.

Filthy how long do you leave them?
No noticeable potency loss?
lol the ones I’ve left out for a day or so before dehydrating always turn solid blue.

Few days. Until dehydrator empties. Never tried to push it.
Have had no reports of lost potency.
