Mushroom Bag

Mushrooms give off moisture as they sit, and in a sealed punnet that moisture has nowhere to go — which is why they turn slick and dark long before they taste bad. This shallow zip-top linen bag lets air move around them and absorbs what they release, so they stay firm and dry to the touch.

This is a dry-storage bag. Put mushrooms in unwashed, keep it on a fridge shelf or in a low-humidity drawer, and rinse or wipe them just before cooking. Use within about two weeks. The linen is untreated — there is no antimicrobial finish on it.

Materials

European flax linen with a YKK zipper made in the USA. Hand-sewn in Ojai, California.

Size

8.5" long × 5" wide × 3" high.

Care

Turn inside out and shake out any leftover bits. Hand wash, or machine wash on gentle in warm water with a natural, non-toxic detergent — baking soda works well. Do not tumble dry. Let it air dry completely before using it again, ideally in the sun.
