I've kept cooked mushrooms for at least a week in the 'fridge with no
adverse reactions. Most cooked foods will last at least that long as
long
as they are kept in tight containers.
Raw mushrooms don't look or smell too good after a few days in the
'fridge
though.

Fresh mushrooms will keep a lot longer if you don't store them in a
tightly
sealed bag. And always buy ones where the gills aren't showing yet. They
will keep longer.

Another thing that will keep longer if you don't keep it tightly sealed is
lettuce. I buy the prepared salads that come in bags. If I seal the bag,
it gets slimy in two or three days. If I leave the bag open, it will keep
for as much as a week.
