I thought they might just be dry, but nope! They’d stayed a little too moist in the veggie drawer, and so instead of drying out, they got slimy and stinky.
So I did as I promised I would, and took a photo.
Far be it from me to compost some produce without showing you. 😉
And now I’ll leave you with a nicer scene so that visions of slimy mushrooms won’t be dancing through your head.

I usually buy my mushrooms bulk, and that way I can choose exactly how much to purchase, especially if I'm only planning on using them for one meal. Also, I find mushrooms keep really well in a paper bag. If I do leave some in the fridge too long they are usually dry and not slimy!

Stink (literally) for icky mushrooms!!! I found a shriveled up sweet potato with a full head of hair (and a mustache) when I cleaned out the veggie drawer, yesterday! :P
