Agaricus bisporus is cultivated in more than 70 countries and is one of the most commonly and widely consumed mushrooms in the world.
Storing mushrooms for long periods
Mushrooms do not keep well for long periods and are not suitable for freezing. A good way to store mushrooms in frozen form is to make duxelles from them and freeze that.
