Cleaning Mushrooms
    #14463302 - 05/16/11 05:21 PM (12 years, 9 months ago)

Hey
I've taken mushrooms once, and intend to do it again.
I picked liberty caps from a field, dried them, then made tea with them a few weeks later.
I was wondering about washing the mushrooms. I didn't last time but I definitely want to next time, as a sheep ridden field won't be the most hygienic of places.
How could I wash them without damaging them?

Thanks

Just rinse them and if you want to be really thorough, you can gently scrape the base with a sharp knife, which will take off a thin layer of "skin" and leave you with a very clean mushroom. The main thing with preserving potency is drying them quickly. Just don't be groping them all over and they'll be fine. If you want to even out the potency of your harvest, grind them up in a coffee grinder or blender after you dry them. You could even put them in a bag and break them up by hand if you don't have that many.

I take it I rinse them as soon as I get them home?
Last year I simply laid them all out individually on newspaper and put them under a cupboard. The next morning they would be crispy dry

Most mushrooms need no or little cleaning.
Take off the stem butt If you were am a puller.... (use it to start new mushrooms!)
Dry and brush any dirt After they are dry

If grossly contaminated (had cyans last year covered in sand)

Wash gently, and immediately dry... The longer you dry, the more chance for mold. Rough handing can effect potency. If you are planning on just making tea... Cleaning is not necessary.

Dry using a cool oven or better yet, fan and even better, fan and screen...
