A cool, humid environment works best.  I store mine in an old freezer in
an unheated shed.  (Note that our winter temps rarely stay below
freezing for more than two days at a time -- you cannot let them freeze
or they will spoil.)

I just had what will probably be the last of last year's crop for dinner
this evening.  Still just as good as when I lifted them in August.  I
harvested 160lbs last year...
