Well, they're cleaned somehow, but I'm really not sure how. Getting
mushrooms wet before use is generally considered a no-no. When I
worked for Mark May, I wasn't even allowed to clean them too
carefully. His comment: "Hey, man. They're supposed to taste like the
forest. If you wash the forest off them, what's the point?" (This was
in connection with chanterelles or morels, I forget which.)

Adamantius, who either keeps a coupla cans (gasp!) of mushrooms on
hand, or goes to the farmer's market for a wooden basket/pail of
them...
