White mushroom is the most widely available variety. It has a mild flavor that deepens after cooking. Open veils and darker caps exhibit a richer flavor and more mature white mushroom. White mushrooms may be used raw or cooked. White mushroom is great for sauteing with garlic, olive oil, and black pepper.  White mushroom is available year-round. Handling Tip Selection The mushroom has a uniform white color and smooth glossy surface. Avoid mushrooms with a pinkish color. This happens upon bruising and will eventually turn brown. The mushroom is firm, plump, and moist. Mushroom with no signs of bruises or sliminess. The mushroom veil is fully intact. The open veil is not a sign of poor quality but will shorten shelf life. Storage Mushroom should be stored at 32°F - 34°F (0°C - 1°C) with a relative humidity of ninety-five percent and no mist. The typical shelf life is seven to nine days. The high relative humidity is essential to prevent stipe blackening, veil opening, and loss of glossiness. Mushroom is sensitive to odor and should not be stored with strong aroma products. Especially, green onions should not be stored or displayed with mushrooms. The mushroom is sensitive to water. Mushroom cartons should be kept off the wet floor. If wet, they will develop wrinkles, brown spots, or deteriorate prematurely.  Mushroom is sensitive to ethylene, a naturally occurring gas that regulates ripening. Mushrooms should not be stored with high ethylene-producing products to extend shelf life and avoid caps browning. Mushroom produces a low level of ethylene. Mushroom is not sensitive to chilling injury but is sensitive to freezing injury. The freezing point for mushrooms is 31°F (-0.6°C). Freezing injury symptoms include water-soaked and extremely soft caps.
