What is the shelf life of fresh mushrooms for selling?

Fresh gourmet mushrooms typically stay saleable for about five to ten days when kept cool and dry, and only a few days for delicate types like pink oyster. For selling, harvest at the right stage, cool them quickly, pack them so they can breathe, and move them to market fast. Cold storage extends the window, and drying turns surplus into a shelf-stable product.
