Notes

For the best buy, choose mushrooms that look smooth and dry. They should not smell moldy! To prepare fresh mushrooms, rinse under running water. Pat dry with a paper towel if desired. Trim off rough ends of stems. To store fresh mushrooms, place them in a paper bag and refrigerate for up to 5 days.
