The work aims to review the research progress of different physical technologies in China and abroad in the preservation of edible fungi, so as to provide reference for further improving the quality of fresh edible fungi and prolonging their storage period. According to the quality deterioration of edible fungi during storage, including browning and softening, water loss, and nutrient consumption, the application of physical preservation technology, such as low temperature preservation, atmosphere packaging technology, irradiation technology, light technology, and electromagnetic technology in edible fungi after harvest was summarized. The preservation mechanism and application effect of different physical preservation technologies were also discussed. Physical technology will play a larger role in the preservation of edible fungus because it can delay the deterioration of edible fungi after harvest, retain the fresh quality of edible fungi and extend their shelf life. Different preservation technologies are useful in different situations, and the best preservation technology should be chosen based on the properties of edible fungi, operational circumstances, and financial implications in the real production.
