There are methods for storing mushrooms for a longer time, but you need to be careful when canning them. Even if they are edible, when hygienic requirements are not observed during their preparation, they can be poisonous. We must always be sure of the mushrooms and even in the slightest doubt, we must not cook them.
Here are the methods for storing mushrooms:
1. Mushrooms are well cleaned. Then they are cut into quarters or slices and put in boiling water for about 2 minutes. Strain them and immerse them in ice water and strain them again. They are stored in the freezer, placed in plastic boxes.
2. Wash the mushrooms with cold water and cut them into halves. Fry them in fat, let them cool and store them in boxes in the freezer. The boxes should not be filled to the top.
3. Wash them again, cut them into pieces, then sprinkle them with a little fat and stir. They are stored in the freezer in bags.
4. Wash them well under cold water, strain them. They are then cut very finely. Add the finely chopped onion and butter and fry them until they soften. The spices are of choice and optional. Once they cool down, they are stored in the freezer.
5. Slice them and place them in a baking tray. Dry them in a slightly open oven at about 60 degrees for 4 hours. Another option is to string them on a thread and hang them in a ventilated place. Before cooking them, soak them in lukewarm water.
