How long will washed fresh mushrooms last in a container? Will they get soggy?

I think they need to be used quickly.
But I don't know how long they will last. 12h?
In the meantime, can you wrap them in a dry towel?

Fresh mushrooms shouldn’t be washed, just wiped clean with damp cloth

But they look so dirty, full of bugs

I know I shouldn't but I do wash mushrooms to get them really clean. Unless they're going right into a soup I always wash them way ahead of when I'll need them and leave them to air dry on a towel so they won't be soggy in the dish. I wouldn't store wet mushrooms in a container - they'll get moldy.

They'll keep better if you don't wash them. I just bought some today to cook on Sunday and I'm sure they'll be fine.

Bugs? I've seen a lot of super dirty mushrooms but not once have I ever seen a bug on one.
Mushrooms get waterlogged so it's best not to wash them at all but wipe clean. Sometimes they are so dirty that I wash anyhow, but they should be dried very well before using. And they should never be stored washed. I know it's nice to get it all done ahead and take nice clean mushrooms out of the fridge but they will likely end up slimy and gross.

Better to get rid of the plastic wrap and store in a paper bag if you can. The wrap keeps moisture in, shortening their storage time before they get slimy.

Wash them right before you use them

Your mushrooms are not full of bugs.

Fresh mushrooms definitely should never be washed. They should either be cleaned with a cloth like above poster mentioned or you can use a bristle brush to clean off dirt. I use a toothbrush but I know they sell special brushes specifically for this too

I peel them by peeling back the first layer with my finger instead of washing.
