Default mushroom storage: a better way?

For years, I would store them in a small brown paper bag, but, recently lacking one, I stashed 'em in a Rubbermaid. They lasted for many days, and not one did I have to toss.

Why not leave them out on the counter and let them air dry? That's what I do and they last indefinitely.

Doesn't work so well if you want to eat them raw.

When they are sold pre-packaged in groceries here, they are in cartons
with air slits, but are covered in plastic wrap. I assume if that
extends life from picking to purchase, it might work a home, too.

I would make sure any you cover this way be free of obvious moisture
such as water or raindrops.

How many days before they start to shrivel?

Besides, I like my counters Sahara clear. But, I may give it a try with the next new batch.

They start to shrivel fairly soon, maybe about three days, but they can still be used directly. I find they get fully dried in about ten days.

Never more than a pound, but I may not use them right away. They're a staple around here. Some go into a salad, some on a pizza etc.

Usually about 12 ounces. They're usually packaged so I can't buy fewer.

Same with me. I use a lot of fresh mushrooms, so they're always in
the refrigerator and it's very rare that they go past their prime. I
don't like side salad with "stuff" in it, so I don't do that. I get
all the variety I want in mine by using fancy lettuce mixes and
different dressings.

OK, that's what I do too. I can buy loose or packaged, whole or
sliced. I usually just buy packaged, sliced because that's what I'm
going to slice them anyway. Most of my meals involve a lot of prep
work, so eliminating one step is fine by me.

I find the sliced mushrooms sliced too thick so I usually slice them myself. I like to maximize the surface area.

I put mine in two paper bags and then in a plastic grocery bag
(airtight) in the refrigerator. I use two paper bags because mushrooms
are very moist, and their moisture will soak a single layer of paper
bad, but not both of a double layer.

And I find em too thin. I like em thick on my pizza. Plus, the presliced ones always look a bit gone by. I have never really price compared, as my market seems to like to hide the prices on 'rooms. It's one of those items I just grab and pay for. So far, I haven't been socked with any price too exorbitant.
