Mushroom did wonders in my life. I could remember several years ago after divorce with my wife which brought me into my disastrous journey on Alcohol and cigarettes. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with cptsd. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.

This video: Do not wash your mushrooms.

Pre-packaged mushrooms label: “Wash before use.”

I start out on medium high heat with a dry pan- no oil- and let the mushrooms roast around for a few minutes before adding anything else to the pan, seasonings or oil. I saw this technique years ago and find it's easier to control the oiliness/moisture better this way. But whatever works and suits your taste is what's best!

This video is trying to give advice without giving clear direction on how to accurately follow their mushroom. Don't undercook your mushroom but also don't overcook them. Wow! Who would've thought of that

[rickydona]

it's been tested and proven that washing mushrooms in water doesn't waterlog them, truth is one mushroom doesn't even absorb a full gram of water plus, it's literally impossible to overcook mushrooms, you can burn them however

After seeing Alton Brown at Cal Poly University in San Luis Obispo talk about cooking and prepping mushrooms, he explained that part of their growing medium was powdered horse poo. He said, "Do I wash my mushrooms? You better believe I do!" I wash my mushrooms, it doesn't harm them in any way.

So... I'm doing EVERYTHING wrong, and I still enjoy my mushrooms.

I've always thoroughly washed mushrooms. Anybody who says water sogs mushrooms, hasnt cooked it. It's impossible to overcook mushrooms. Idk who came up with this 'wipe your mushrooms' idea. But if you want the dirt off, just wash it. Simple

Actually cooking mushrooms on low heat is great if you intend to use them for a sauce. In that case the water that seeps out should be drained off into the sauce for even more flavour. However, I always use butter for mushrooms, never oil.

Tomatoes have water as well and we wash them why? Because it needs to be washed.

I like the watery mix when I cook mushrooms. As a vegetarian, I can thicken it and get an awesome meatless gravy.

Before you put mushrooms on pizza, marinate them in olive oil salt and pepper, ore the spices to your liking 😋😋😋

I've tried washed vs unwashed brushed "clean" mushrooms. I can't tell the difference, except that I don't have to throw out as many dishes because there's dirt in them. You can throw them in the oven on low for a bit (use a rack) if you want the water gone. Salad spinner works fairly well too. I think this rule came from lazy restaurant cooks who don't bother to wash their food properly.

Wow ... I really appreciate it. I just had Oyster Mushrooms turn quickly! I kept them in the open Plastic bag that they are sold in! I will place them in a paper bag from now on! This was a very informative post! Thanks

Ive learned some valuable tips. Thank you. Also, I've accidentally discovered how intensely flavoured dried out mushrooms are, when I found and used some old, dried out ones in the bottom of my freezer! Best for stews and risotto.

Why does everything have a "nutty" taste? Guess I'll just buy nuts then...

[stgdpgy]

I just cook them however I feel like and haven't noticed a problem.

[LoveSnoopy]

ricky dona said it right. Mushrooms do not absorb water when washed. I'd rather a water logged mushroom than eat fertilizer.

[robertdabbs]

There are so many ways to eat mushrooms. I love them raw in a salad, on pizza, and my two favorite things are "Beef, Mushroom, and Barley Soup" and "Mushroom Risotto".

Blumenthol, award winning 3-Michelin star chef, debunked the washing mushroom's myth. I used to spend tons of time wiping them. Unless you have fragile delicate mushrooms like Chanterelles, a nice rinse is the fastest, easiest, and best way to clean mushrooms.
