Freezing Fresh Mushrooms?
    #7118116 - 07/02/07 07:03 AM (16 years, 8 months ago)

I was always taught that fresh is best consumed straight away or you must dry the mushrooms. Recently I've heard of people freezing the fresh mushrooms, to keep the added goodies in the juice that is preserved when the moisture turns to ice, true?

or is it best to dry first and then freeze?

You have to dry them first or the moisture will cause the cells walls to explode when frozen....then turn to mush!

You MUST dry mushrooms before you freeze them or they'll turn very nasty indeed!

Yes dry them first or you will learn why so many people call their mushrooms "mushies".

You can have them fresh for up to a week if you keep them aerated in the fridge, longer and you need to dry them totally. If you freeze them fresh you'll destroy em.

Cool cool, that makes sense. My suspicions are confirmed, figured that'd ruin them. Must tell my associates who insist on freezing em fresh to keep potency. Stupid fools. If they don't take my advice this time they'll just have to learn the hard way.

Lol... I thought freezing was a good idea once...

Ended up with a pile of black nasty slimy stinky mush... was the strangest thing I had seen mushrooms turn into...

Teonanacatl, open up my eyes
This sacrament, this prayer, beyond the world of lies
Guide me clearly through that which I dont understand
Give me strength to find the path
Help me fight any demons as you flow through me wholely
This is my prayer, that you protect me from evil, and bring me closer to peace
And open up my eyes, so i can see things as you do
Amen
