Why - in supermarkets - are plastic bags provided for all loose fruit and veg, except mushrooms where we are encouraged to use the paper variety? Are mushrooms the only chaps who can't fight their way out of them?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Most fruit and veg have cellulose cell walls, and so lose water at a slow rate. This means that inside a plastic bag they will not sweat too much and go bad. Mushrooms have a different cell structure, and lose large quantities of water when in plastic bags. This makes the bag humid, the mushroom rots, or starts to spread mycelae.
