Just dry brush them off. You are playing with fire re-wetting dried shrooms. They could start to rot and decay.

By perlite do you perhaps mean vermiculite? If so now that your mushrooms are dry you can use a stiff brushed tooth brush to brush away any materials that are left on the stem. As for the spores I would not worry about brushing them off.

Why yet them soaking wet after taking the time to dry them? Use an old toothbrush.

I actually find them a lot easier to clean after they've been dried, the substrate just brushes right off. When they're still wet its a huge pain in the ass.

I agree, once they are dry the substrate stuck to the bottom of the mushrooms and anything else will fall off.

I heard once that you should never cut the ends of the stems off I'm sure why.

I saw a video of someone putting them in a big Ziplock bag and shaking them (tugging on the top so they bounce up and down no pun intended) and it causes the verm and stuff to fall to the bottom of the bag. Do this for a few minutes or until satisfied. It was meant for getting bulk sub off but it seems like it'd work.
Good luck OP

you probably read not to cut the mushrooms off the cakes from the base leaving the butts on the substrate as they can mold.

I don't believe thats what was meant. Either way why ruin something so perfect by hacking it up with a scissor or a knife. It grew how it was supposed to so accept how it comes and just eat that thing besides as soon as you eat it the last thing on your mind will be the verm lol its gonna be the wild ride your about to go on ha ha

I don't think it's good for your insides, it's basically a sort of glass.

LOL well I would hope your not gonna eat chunks of the stuff ha ha. If you can brush it off you should, but if there are a few specs of verm on it and you would need a firm bristle toothbrush to get em off I would just consider to be a part of the fruit at that point
