Allow me to share Gena’s thoughts on canning mushrooms:
“Sweetheart, I did read the recipe [my original post] the other day, and yes, it sounds iffy to me. I have yet to find a lab-tested canned marinated mushroom recipe. That doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist at some University extension office somewhere, but I haven’t seen one yet. There are plenty of water bath canned mushroom recipes out there, especially since the Europeans have a tradition of water-bath canning mushrooms, and they are probably safe, but there is no proof they are safe. But the problem with anecdotal–meaning European–recipes is they tend to be locked into a region. For example, Jacques Pepin’s mother used to water bath can snails she collected in their hometown. Maybe the vinegar she used was some super powerful homemade stuff, or maybe the species of snail had a really low pH? You see? That’s the problem. It would be folly to apply her technique to the snails we gather in East Hampton.
“BTW, wild mushrooms are particularly prone to botulism so must be refrigerated or press canned. You can definitely put the mushrooms up in the fridge. While technically they only hold for ten days, mine hold for a month or more if you follow this advice: To store, spoon the mushrooms into sterilized pint jars (jars that have been boiled in water for 10 minutes). Be sure the mushrooms are covered with oil (you might have to add more oil). To remove the mushrooms, remove the oil from the top of the jar, take out the amount of mushrooms you need, then re-cover with oil and return to the fridge. Do not let more of the mushrooms come to room temperature than you need at a given time or spoilers could be introduced into your jar.”
