Instruction manual
1
In the refrigerator, champignons in open form can be stored for no more than 2-3 days, as they can become weathered and darken. In a plastic bag, the shelf life of mushrooms increases to 6-7 days. It’s very dangerous to keep champignons longer - they can be harmful to human health.

To increase the shelf life of champignons, they can be placed in the freezer. They can be there for a very long time without losing their useful qualities. However, they need to be defrosted in portions and it is better not to re-freeze them.
3
To freeze fresh champignons, they must be thoroughly washed, dried, cut off excess and cut into pieces. If the mushrooms are small, then they can be left whole. Next, the mushrooms must be placed in bags, tie tightly and freeze.
4
Mushrooms can be stored frozen by frying them in a pan with a small amount of sunflower oil. Mushrooms fried in this way must be folded into a container and frozen. The shelf life of champignons prepared in this way is 6 months.

You can save champignons in boiled form. To do this, wash and boil the mushrooms in slightly salted water, cool, dry well, lay in bags and freeze. The shelf life of frozen boiled champignons is 6 months.

Champignons can be preserved by pickling them. To do this, prepare the marinade. In 1 liter of boiling water, add 1 tablespoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of sugar, 5 peas of black and allspice, 1 bay leaf. Add 1 kilogram of champignons and cook for 30 minutes. Remove from heat. Pour in 50 grams of vinegar and place in jars. The next day, the mushrooms will be ready to eat. Keep in the refrigerator.

There is another way to preserve champignons - this is drying, which can be done in the oven, in the sun or in the shade. The shelf life of dried champignons is approximately 1 year. Before cooking, mushrooms should be soaked in cold water for 2-3 hours.
