Mushrooms grow white when refrigerated.

White hairs on mushrooms when placed in the refrigerator may be a natural phenomenon caused by aging. The mushrooms themselves have white hairs or the mushrooms have gone bad.

The white hair on mushrooms is a natural phenomenon caused by the aging of mushrooms: such as king oyster mushrooms and oyster mushrooms. Mushrooms that have been left for too long or picked will become old. The white hairs of this type of mushroom are mushrooms grown from spores. There is generally no problem with the white hairs after cleaning, but the taste will be worse than that of fresh mushrooms.

The mushroom itself may also have white hairs. When you accidentally put it in the refrigerator, you mistakenly thought it was white hairs such as Hericium erinaceus.

If the mushroom has gone bad, mold will grow white hairs on the mushroom. Generally, spoiled mushrooms will feel soft to the touch and taste different, with a fishy or foul smell.
