Hericium erinaceus contains a lot of water and sugar, which is easy to breed bacteria and rot under suitable temperature conditions, and its preservation time is not long. There are many ways to preserve Hericium erinaceus, and putting it in the refrigerator is also a common one. As long as the Hericium erinaceus preserved in the refrigerator does not rot, it can continue to be eaten. However, if Hericium erinaceus is stored in the refrigerator for too long, don't eat it any more.

Do you need to put the dried Hericium erinaceus in the refrigerator? It is generally not necessary to put it in the refrigerator.

The moisture in dried Hericium erinaceus has evaporated, so it should be stored directly in a dry and ventilated place, and pay attention to moisture and moth prevention. However, there is a lot of water vapor in the refrigerator. If the packaging is not tight enough, it will get wet and accelerate nutrient loss and mildew. So generally speaking, dried Hericium erinaceus does not need to be kept in the refrigerator.

Can Hericium erinaceus be frozen in the refrigerator? Cryopreservation is not recommended.

Although freezing in refrigerator can inhibit the growth of bacteria and prolong the storage time of food, the water in Hericium erinaceus will form ice crystals when the temperature is too low, which will destroy the cell tissue of Hericium erinaceus and lead to the loss of nutrients and water. Hericium erinaceus will feel soft and taste worse after thawing. So it is generally not recommended to store Hericium erinaceus in the refrigerator.

4 Fresh Hericium erinaceus is put in the refrigerator for a few days, 5-7 days.

The temperature in the refrigerator is relatively low and it also contains a lot of water vapor. Keeping fresh Hericium erinaceus in the refrigerator can not only prolong its storage time, but also keep its freshness. Generally, fresh Hericium erinaceus can be stored in the refrigerator for about 5-7 days, or even longer if it is well preserved.
