- - glass jar,
- - gauze,
- - soda,
- - milk.

Step 1
Milk mushroom can be stored in the refrigerator for 3 days if it is rinsed and placed in milk diluted with water 1: 1 without closing the lid. But after each three-day storage in the refrigerator, you should let the mushroom ferment in milk at room temperature.
Step 2
Remember a few provisions that should not be violated in any case. Milk mushroom should not be rinsed with hot water, let alone filled with hot milk. Avoid placing the mushroom jar in bright daylight. At temperatures below 17 degrees, the mushroom can grow moldy even during fermentation. Milk mushroom must be thoroughly and constantly washed, otherwise it will lose its medicinal properties. Only keep the mushroom in glass jars. And the jar in which it is stored can only be washed with soda, without using any detergents.

Cover the neck of the jar with gauze when leaving the milk to ferment or refrigerate. You cannot close the bank, however, you should not leave it completely unprotected either.
Step 4
Express the fermented milk after the end of the process, and rinse the mushroom remaining in the colander with cold boiled water. Pour the mushroom daily with fresh milk (preferably milk with a high fat content and a short shelf life), if you do not do this, then it will not multiply and will turn brown, it will not have medicinal properties, and it may die.
Step 5
If you are leaving for 2-3 days, fill a three-liter jar with milk half-and-half with water, put the mushroom there, put it in a cool place in the room, but upon arrival, rinse the mushroom and fill it with milk again. You cannot drink strained kefir. If you are leaving for more than 5 days, and there is no one to look after your mushroom, then put several clean paper napkins one by one on a plate, rinse the fungi well and put them on napkins, cover with another napkin and put in a warm place. day the fungi with a clean spoon, so as not to stick. They will turn yellow and shrink. After two weeks, put them in a jar and leave in the refrigerator. So the mushroom or mushrooms can be stored for a long time. They should not lose their properties. But it will take 7-10 days to recover. Fill them several times with milk, and then send them to the "resort" - in yogurt or store kefir, so that they grow fresh bacteria.
