Yes, but there is not much point. Assuming the package has not been opened and the mushrooms exposed to air, it's better to just store the package in a cupboard and save your freezer space for other things :)

As with all freezing questions - you can freeze anything - it's what it turns out like when defrosted is the crucial question.

Mushrooms contain a lot of water, and when frozen, the water molecules expand destroying the mushroom structure.

So when defrosted, you'll end up with a sort of mushroom mush. If that is your intention, then yes, otherwise - no you can't.

Absolutely! The texture may change a bit, but when thawed and added to a sauce or stew, they will be fine. Be sure to put them in an air-tight container when frozen so they do not dry out (that drying is also called 'freezer burn').

Fresh mushroom do not freeze well. Freezing destroys the texture. Best storage is refrigerated in a brown paper bag. They will keep for a week or two.
