Mushrooms are becoming popular because of their health benefits and they have been investigated for their role as functional foods. The shelf life of mushrooms has been the object of study by near infrared spectroscopy methods. OCT has been demonstrated recently over a duration of two weeks and but no investigation has been done over duration of a few hours. Here, a spectral domain OCT has been used to monitor structural changes in white shimeji mushrooms at every hour.
