Fresh mushrooms can be packaged whole or cut in slices and usually packed in expanded polystyrene plastic trays wrapped in plastic. Mushrooms in preserve are usually kept in glass jars or tins.

Mushrooms are found in the market fresh or in preserve. When fresh, they are usually packed in expanded polystyrene plastic trays wrapped in plastic, with or without perforations, rigid small baskets or plastic or cardboard boxes for mushrooms in bulk; in any case, they are prepared with the cap downwards, as long as they are whole mushrooms, since they can also be already cut. Mushrooms in preserve are kept in glass jars or tins.
