How do YOU clean off the verm off harvested fruits?

It seems to be something that's easily missed and kind of tedious. Should I just literally wash them off? I don't think it matters, if I rinse them, right? Because it's just going to go in the dehydrator anyway immediately afterwards, no?

Dry the fruits. Place them in a bag or container. Shake the bag/container. The verm comes off easily.

It depends on how thick my flushes are. If it's really thick, I cut all my mushrooms at the base, and there is no vermiculite. If I do twist and pull them,and there is a mess, I always used a soft toothbrush to clean them. I clean them as they are still fresh. Be gentle

Verm does come off much easier from dry fruits, but I just try to get the bulk of it off and just say fuck the rest.
You could always cut the stems too

I used to twist and pull. When the fruits were dry, I would take a dull knife and scrape the verm and other shit off. A lot of work, especially with a bountiful harvest. I find cutting the fruits down instead is faster and cleaner. Nothing worse than getting a bag of shrooms with a bunch of substrate material still attached. I personally don't want to eat that stuff. Especially if they were grown in shit.

Once they're dry, you can put them in a zip lock so that there's still some room left in the bag... then blow a little air into the bag and zip shut. Now push and pull and tug and grind at the bag for like 3 mins
After that, take one top corner of the bag and the bottom corner that is kiddy corner to the top one and tug in both ends at the same time for a bit... This will make all the verm bits fall to that bottom corner... pinch off that bottom corner with the verm bits and dump out the cleaned fruits.
It works like a rock tumbler. And a dream.. give it a whirl!
