  4. The mushrooms should be submerged fully. Put the jar aside to cool. Don’t close the jar until it has reached room temperature! Once fully cooled, close the jar and put it in the fridge overnight to marinate. The day after remove the jar from the fridge 30 minutes before serving. Transfer the mushrooms to a clean bowl and serve.
