[OT] fridge life of cooked mushrooms?

About a week ago we added sauteed green onions and mushrooms, as well
as grilled bell peppers and zucchini, to spaghetti sauce (the kind in
a plastic jar).

I was thinking that with no meat, it would still be good, but someone
told me that mushrooms go bad in 2-3 days.

Thoughts? Do I need to toss all that sauce?

I never keep anything longer than 3 days in the refrigerator. If you
have leftovers suitable for freezing that will last a few months. MLB

They might last 3-4 days if the fridge is real cold and the shrooms were not
left out very long after being cooked.

Oh dear. I keep spaghetti sauce in the fridge up to a week, shrooms,
meat and all.

And likely OK due to the acid in the tomato sauce. It would make me uneasy
as I wouldn't be sure just how long the meat had been in the fridge before
it went into the sauce.

So do I. Tomato sauce is an unfriendly environment for bacteria, anyway.

But I keep a lot of other things for longer than a few days. Once it
gets to be more than a week old, then I check it carefully before eating
it. At some point, it just gets dumped. I'm actually quite lazy about
cleaning my fridge, and every so often I have to dump out unrecognizable
items, container and all.

I usually draw the line at four days. But they I have a short memory and a
weak stomach so that's in the interest of safety. More than four days and
I'm not sure of origin date.

And Charlie will eat anything that is in the refrigerator, so I have to be
kind of careful about long term residents.

Both my daughters have been told if I die first to clean out the
refrigerator for him once in a while.

Then again, he seems to be able to eat darn near anything without problems.
He has eaten in street markets all over the world during his time in the
military.

LOL, isn't it amazing some of the things that hubbies will eat? When
Rob was in Korea the first time, he would eat stuff that the Koreans
with him wouldn't touch as they didn't know what was in it. He used to
scare them with his willingness to try just about anything. He did
pretty much the same in Germany. By the time he went to Korea for the
second tour, he'd learned that some foods can bite back.

And I closer to TWO weeks! (Or longer, if it gets shoved to
the back of the shelf.) So long as it looks and smells
okay, tastes all right, and hasn't grown a white fur coat,
heating it thoroughly before using it will take care of any
potential problems.

I tend to agree with you, but I do have this thing about tomato sauce
because as a kid I guess a teacher mentioned an experiment involving
growing mold on tomato sauce, and I don't think we were supposed to do
it, but anyway I thought we were and left it in the basement for a few
months and ... ew.

White fur coat, indeed. With grey spots.
