Probably. I wasn´t even thinking of that because I wouldn´t dream of washing
mushrooms in advance. Mind you, I usually don´t wash them, and I never soak
them, but if they look like they need some cleaning I don´t hesitate to give
them a quick rinse, then I dry them quickly with a kitchen towel, cut them
up and use them at once.
