What is the best temperature for cold storage of edible fungi?

  Edible fungi are a kind of food with rich nutrition and unique taste. In order to maintain its freshness and quality, it needs to be stored at an appropriate temperature. This article will introduce the best temperature for cold storage of edible fungi and its importance.

  Characteristics of edible fungi Edible fungi are a kind of food with high protein, low fat and rich nutrition, which contains a variety of amino acids, vitamins and trace elements. Different types of edible fungi have different growth environments and ideal storage conditions.

  The importance of cold storage of edible fungi Edible fungi have high humidity and are susceptible to contamination. They are easily contaminated by microorganisms and deteriorated by their own enzymes. By storing edible fungi at a suitable temperature, their shelf life can be extended, their freshness and taste can be maintained, and loss and waste can be reduced.
