Can you freeze Mushrooms (Raw)?

Yes. Mushrooms (Raw) keeps 8–9 months in the freezer when stored in airtight packaging.

Mushrooms freeze best cooked rather than raw — sauté or steam them first to drive off moisture, or they turn watery and mushy. Cool them, then freeze in portioned bags with the air removed for 8–9 months. Use them straight from frozen in cooked dishes; the softened texture suits sauces, soups, omelettes, and stir-fries rather than any raw preparation.
