Expiration & Storage Tips
When does Stuffed Mushroom expire?
An unopened package of store-bought stuffed mushrooms should last for about 1-2 weeks in the fridge past its printed date. If it's homemade, it'll only typically last about 3-5 days in the fridge. Freezing is not common for stuffed mushrooms due to quality degradation, but if you choose to do so, they can last up to 2-3 months.
How do you tell if Stuffed Mushroom is bad?
Stuffed mushrooms going bad will develop a slimy or damp surface. The color may darken and the smell could change from fresh and earthy to a sort of sour, unwelcoming smell. If you see any mold, it's a definite sign that they've gone bad.
Tips for storing Stuffed Mushroom to extend shelf life
• Store the stuffed mushrooms in the refrigerator, ideally at or below 40°F.
• Use airtight containers or tightly sealed plastic bags to prevent moisture loss and absorption of other flavors.
• Try to store them flat and avoid stacking to maintain their shape and presentation.
• If you choose to freeze them, do so in a single layer on a baking sheet before transferring to a zip-top bag, this will prevent them from sticking together.
