Singapore humidity can make dried mushrooms absorb moisture after opening. A good storage routine helps protect their aroma, texture and quality. Transfer the mushrooms to a clean, completely dry airtight container. Keep it away from the stove, sink, direct sunlight and steam. Use only dry hands or utensils, label the opening date, and follow the storage instructions on the pack. Before cooking, inspect the mushrooms carefully. Discard them if you notice mould, an unusual smell, dampness, sliminess or insect activity. If refrigerated, let the sealed container return to room temperature before opening to reduce condensation.
