Sous Vide Mushrooms Temperature Guide
Mushrooms are mostly water, and high-heat cooking squeezes that water out, leaving them shriveled. Sous vide at 167°F cooks them gently, and every drop of released liquid stays in the bag — use it as the base for a pan sauce or risotto.

Buying advice
Cook at 167°F for 30-45 minutes. Season with salt, butter, thyme, and garlic in the bag. After the bath, pour the bag liquid into a hot pan and reduce it, then add the mushrooms and butter to glaze — that liquid is pure umami. Works great for meal prep: cook a big batch and use in pasta, steak toppers, or omelets all week.
