Storing food in the refrigerator does not mean that its shelf life will never expire.
And you need to be even more careful with mushrooms. Being heavy food for the body, they can cause significant harm to health as soon as they start to spoil.
The most popular mushroom is the champignon. This is what we will talk about, or rather, which mushrooms are best thrown away.
Sign #1
Mushrooms smell like mushrooms only when they are fresh. This aroma is hard to confuse. But when champignons smell like basement dampness or rot, chemicals or other impurities, this is a sure sign that they have gone bad.
Sign #2
As soon as the caps become sticky, it's time to get rid of the mushrooms. Even fresh mushrooms should not be eaten after defrosting.
Sign #3
The cap should not only be dry and velvety, but also of a uniform color. Most often, it is white or cream matte. The appearance of shine indicates the beginning of a decomposition reaction that can no longer be stopped.
Sign #4
Spots and specks, even the smallest ones, are a signal that the mushrooms should not be bought, cooked or eaten. The same applies to mushrooms with flat caps.
Sign #5
Fresh mushrooms are moderately firm and elastic. Another simple way to determine a spoiled mushroom is to break it. White color inside indicates that the mushrooms are still edible, and dark color inside already indicates the opposite.
