I did put two really large, baked sweet potatoes in the fridge awhile ago. I
half ass covered them with foil sheets. Wasn't quite enough to cover the
whole thing but I will be using them tomorrow and they had the skin on them.
I might turn half of a melon upside down in a bowl. And if I know it is
something that my husband will likely be eating within the next hour, like a
slice of pizza, then I'll throw in a cheap bread bag. Other than that, it
gets covered.

I don't know how long mushrooms would keep but I don't think they are safe
at the 7 day mark. As for green onions, I have not had them dry out once
cooked, but the texture isn't very good if they sit in the fridge once
cooked. I've had leftover Asian food with them in it and they just go kind
of icky.

If I am making something that uses green onion and I know there will be
leftovers I add the onion as I dish the food up. Then I add more to the
leftovers after it is heated.
