washing mushrooms?

[agroot]

How are people supposed to clean this kind of mushrooms?



There is dirt everywhere and I found myself spent tons of time scrubbing them off, often destroying mushrooms in the process. Merely washing with water does not remove them from the middle of gills, and strong water pressure can easily destroy them too.

Chanterelles sometimes need a soft brush like a basting brush or similar to a powder-makeup brush.

For anyone else picking up on this old thread, that would be a waste, anyone going mushroom hunting should take a mushroom knife

it has a brush on the handle for removing the small bits of leaf litter that get picked up when you pick the mushroom.
