I have a lot of excess fresh mushrooms at the moment and if I don't use them in the next day or so they are going to go off.

I was thinking about slicing them and freezing them to use at a later date. Do you think this would work? Anyone tried it?

I have done it in the past. It will depend what you want to use them for once defrosted really. I found they weren't nice by themselves, fried or whatever as they went a bit rubbery but were just fine if used in sauces, casseroles etc.

You can buy frozen sliced mushrooms. They are not good though.

Make mushroom soup and freeze it.

Would they keep if you dried them?

They'd need to be freeze dried in a commercial blast chiller. Beyond the means of most households.
