My fingers hurt.
    #11146730 -

Just wondering. Any tips tricks or hints for cleaning mushies?

Ive been cleaning for 2 1/2 hours and i'm  beat.

Also, I dont think i'll make it to all of them before bed> Is it safe to leave a stack of shrooms with casing/substrate attached for 24 hours? Should i stick it in the fridge?

Dr. Egon Spengler: I collect spores, molds, and fungus.

grab mush in one hand- take a paper towel in the other- use the texture of the paper towel to peel off the outermost layer of myc-skin downward- towards and around the dirty base. usually comes off pretty smoothly and leaves a nice looking product behind, and dont worry about the weight lost- it should be no biggie.

they clean a lot easier dry, also i will point out they're is no real need to clean them at all. Just lay them out in front of a fan and wait for evaporation to do it's thing, then just knock the dirt off with youre fingers when theyre dry.

Im actually surprised no one complains about this more.

when it is cracker dry you can rub off the casing/substrate material easily.

when using the method of cleaning i described above during a decent harvest, i acquire about a full quart of mushroom butts per 10gal tub-these get balled up and go into a plastic shopping bag which gets tied shut- poke a few holes with a knife and let sit on the back porch or back yard and they spring up another quarterOZ dry- usually short and fat because they are so constricted but they are nice and dense.

1. Get them cracker dry.

2. Lightly scrape off the unwanted material with a knife.

That's all there is too it.

I cleaned 4 ounces this way in about 15 minutes. Don't even bother trying to get all that junk off while they are wet.

greatest post ever :rofl2:

but as posted above, just let the shrooms dry with whatever casing or substrate thats one them, if they're cracker dry, you can snap the dirty part of the stems off with very minimal loss

Wait, you are already doing this? And your fingers hurt? You must be doing something wrong. I just sat back watching TV while I did it and it did not bother me at all.

Alabama Slim, something about the picture in your signature trips me the fuck out.

Any story (ie history) behind it?
