I suggest you call the produce manager of your finest local grocery
store. They know all sorts of things!

My son brought home 3 lbs of morels last night. I'm not able to get
right to them and wonder what the best way to keep them a couple of
days would be. They're in the fridge in a plastic bag, which I will
not do any longer. I know some people soadk them in salt water, but I
may not get to them tomorrow either. Halve them, lightly wash, and
place between damp paper towels on a tray in the fridge? Put them as
is in a paper bag? Help!

I've never stored Morels, but the FIRST thing I'd do is to get them into
a paper bag and out of plastic!!!

I can keep/store Oyster and button 'shrooms that way for at least 3 to 5
days.......

Morels. 3 lbs.

Damn I'm jealous! ;-d

I never have either, I've always been in a postion to eat them right
away. I plan to dehydrate some of them, but mine requires periodic
tray shuffling and rotating - guess I'll set my alarm every 2 hours.
I did this 4 years ago, then wrapped them and froze them. A year
later I hydrated them in warm water and they were pretty good. Thanks
for the input.

You must be kidding! Ask food storage advice from the idiots that soak the
greens and herbs with water so they'll wilt faster?

The produce manager at the Schnuck's store I shop is excellent! There
certainly are idiots out there, but there are also some very bright,
helpful people, too.
