How to Clean Mushroom

  • There are many varieties of mushrooms are available in market,whatever it is try to choose whole mushrooms,avoid discoloured, broken and damaged mushrooms with soft spots.I always try to choose a box that has the cleanest mushroomSmile.
  • Wipe off the sand or dust on mushroom using  damp cloth or paper towel,since the mushroom skin is very soft and smooth don’t wash it in water directly without wiping out first.
