I prefer dried. Canned are mushy and I've had them leak due to burst seams.

Well Popeye also says only dried shit is OK. And he's an expert on
canned stuff. (and shit too)

But, now, if it's beans, canned are perfect, and the finest beans
in the universe. Even god uses canned beans. Dried beans are tiad.







I'm amazed you can get either.

And I have a can of "Popeye Spinach" in my pantry.
I bought it for the cool cartoon pic of Popeye on the label.

You don't know what you're talking about. You just make shit up. Canned mushrooms might be crappy, but they're not mushy. Your daughter should have killed you for letting her become disgustingly fat. All she would have had to do was find one of the thirty-some foods you say you can't eat, and stuff them into your ugly face. There is nothing about you that is of any value whatsoever.

they are not mushy, wrong word. Cans don't burst because there are
mushrooms in there. The cans burst because the contents are spoiled.

Yes, bad live bacteria can sometimes end up within cans and build up
pressure; check lid & bottom for bulges.

Also, check the metal top & bottom edges for rust. Sometimes a low
cupboard might be cool enough to attract moisture and rust through a can
in a few months. Expect spoilage; possibly toxic.


I prefer canned white mushrooms over fresh simply because raw ones go bad
fairly quickly if not cooked. Yes, the taste is a bit compromised, but
that happens too if they are not cooked in a few days.

I think fresh white mushrooms improve with a bit of age, maybe because
they lose water. Of course, there's a limit to this.

try storing the fresh mushrooms in a paper bag. I don't say they will
last forever but the bag does keep them from getting slippery.

Definitely get them out of the plastic wrap within a few days or
they will turn slippery/slimy. I've done the paper bag thing
a few times and it extends their life.

Do you put the bag in the fridge or at ambient temperature?

FWIW, I find that the 'King Oyster' seems to stay fresh longest.

The worst for going bad fast (badder?) were the false morels me & Dad
used to pick, thinking they were real morels. We had no idea how toxic
they are if eaten raw.

Don't know about that. I always put mine in the vegetable
drawer in the fridge. Maybe next time, I'll put them on the
counter for a few days and see how that goes. I still wouldn't
leave them in the plastic. I'd transfer to a paper bag.

keep the bag in the fridge. Best to keep in the vegetable box on the
bottom of the fridge. Morels just have a short life once picked.

Way back, I used to buy the BnB mushrooms came in jars at first
then maybe switched to canned? Don't know if they still make
them. I believe the BnB stood for broiled in butter (?)
I remember them being good.

Then I discovered fresh and you can just fry them in butter for
the same result and a bit better tasting.

Fresh is all I've bought for many years now. I just buy the
amount that I'll use within a week. Either in 8oz or 16oz
containers and sometimes available in a loose bin to pick
and choose.

Mostly white mushrooms for me. Good enough for most uses
but sometimes other brands.

Made a nice dish once with large portabellos. Stuffed
mushroom caps. The stuffing part included the chopped
stems, onions...and some other things. Oven cooked in
a covered dish. Turned out very nice.

Too long ago to remember the recipe. Seems like it might
have also been topped with a little grated cheese.

You aren't supposed to keep them 10 years....
