The
best way to clean mushrooms without sacrificing their texture and taste is to
clean them using minimal, if any, water. To do this, wipe them with a slightly
damp paper towel or clean kitchen cloth. You could also use a mushroom brush,
available at most kitchen warehouse stores.
If
using the whole mushroom in a recipe, simply slice off the very bottom of the
stem, which is usually a bit spongy. If your recipe only calls for the caps,
gently break off the stems with your hands and discard , or save for making
soup stock.
