Fresh Picked and Refrigerated Shrooms; Potency, Freshness Q's

I plan on picking some shrooms off a second tub in the next two days. Three questions.
(1) How long can I keep these shrooms fresh? My guess is 2-3 days, like regular store-bought shrooms.
(2) I'm assuing refrigeration is ideal. Is this true?
(3) What is the potency drop-off for shrooms kept fresh?

brown bag, fridge... they'll start to dry out in the brown bag, but that's better than them turning to sludge...

Unfortunately, my goal is to keep them as fresh as possible. See, I think I'll be harvesting them one day and then eating them with friends 1-2 days later. I don't want to dry them because then judging weight gets harder. If they're fully hydrated then I know where I stand.
Grocery mushrooms often come in cardboard containers with plastic wrap tops or plastic containers and they keep well for a few days. Could I expect this out of cubensis? Would I see a drop in potency?

Why don't you weigh out a couple doses for you and your mates when you pick em, and keep them separate in a brown paper bag in the fridge until you use them, this way it doesn't matter if they start to dry out a little as you knew their original wet weight... just an idea

Well, I prefer the taste of the mushrooms fresh. But that's a very simple and elegant solution to my problem so thank you!
5 shrooms for you.
