NO - NEVER.
Wipe on kitchen towel or your T. shirt to get the odd bits of muck off.
No worries.
With water they get - slimy.....xxx. Happy New Year.....xxx

No you shouldn't wash mushrooms. Just wipe them with paper towel to remove any dirt. It spoils the texture if they go into the pan wet.

The chefs will probably tell you 'no', but as a matter of habit, I rinse all fruit and vegetables before use, except bananas. It's up to you, really.

I was told that you just have to wipe them down. But I still prefer to wash them and then I pull the stalks off and peel the outer layer. Extreme I know but it the idea that they've been growing in the dirt and god knows what that I can't stomach.

Yes!! A lot of mushrooms are grown in straight manure since they are a fungi. Rinse well!

It is best if wipe them clean with a bit of kitchen towel. Using water makes them soggy.

I just wipe them and peel the skin off - they contain loads of water already!

Any vegetable or fruit should be washed- you don't know where there coming from nor how many hands of touch them. Take the extra minute or 2 and play it safe.

brushing or wiping them with a wet cloth work well. rinsing them tends to make them wet

Most chefs will tell you no - just wipe them clean of any remaining compost.
