Stop washing your mushrooms.
Notice I didnt say dont clean your mushrooms.
You should clean them, you should just do it without water.
Given the fact that those crispy, savory edges are the best part of sauteed mushrooms (thanksMaillard browning!
), it makes sense to avoid water as much as possible.
So how do you clean them?
Given that cultivated mushrooms are grown in sterilized compost, its unlikely that anything tagging along will be harmful.
