Just that.

Who peels/skins them?

GrannyGravy13 Thu 18-Jan-24 16:01:28

Not me, life’s too short!

Marydoll Thu 18-Jan-24 16:01:41

Not I, unless they are looking a bit tired!

Yes, only if they look tired.
It takes no time at all anyway.

Grandmabatty Thu 18-Jan-24 16:03:27

I never peel them. I'll give them a wipe with kitchen roll

Germanshepherdsmum Thu 18-Jan-24 16:07:40

Yes, if they look tired. Otherwise, no.

Wasn’t there a thread on this recently?

Auntieflo Thu 18-Jan-24 16:22:05

Maybe someone has got time left from Stuffing the Mushrooms?

Germanshepherdsmum Thu 18-Jan-24 16:24:51

Oh, I do that too sometimes!

Shelflife Thu 18-Jan-24 17:39:49

A definitely no from to me , would never dream of peeling a mushroom!

No, use my mushroom brush which work very well.

My goodness how many more threads about peeling mushrooms there must be one every month 😴

nadateturbe Thu 18-Jan-24 17:52:45

I wash mine.

Esmay Thu 18-Jan-24 18:02:35

No need to wash nor peel as they are grown in sterile conditions for supermarkets - just wipe .
I eat them raw and never have had a reaction .

CanadianGran Thu 18-Jan-24 18:07:52

Never have. I give them a wipe with paper towel.

I wash mine on the gentle mushroom wash cycle in my washing machine🤣🤣🤣

BlueBelle Thu 18-Jan-24 18:24:28

Haha yep that’s a good one Rosie or maybe an electric toothbrush

kittylester Thu 18-Jan-24 19:07:33

I peel those big ones before I stuff them.

MiniMoon Thu 18-Jan-24 20:12:15

I just wipe them with damp kitchen paper.

Fairy liquid in a bowl of hot water, good soak, followed by the dishwasher, remains to the dog. As advised by a GC who hates mushrooms. grin

I peel the field mushrooms I pick myself, not the cultivated shop bought ones.

Wouldn't work for us. Our dog won't eat mushrooms..

I just wipe them with a bit of kitchen towel. When I was a catering college our lecturers said never wash or peel a mushroom as it destroyed the flavour..

Ha! Life’s too short to peel a mushroom.
Your GC’s advice reminds me of how to deal with cucumbers
Slice thinly, dress with oil and vinegar, and throw away.

I started reading that, thought 😯 hang on, mushrooms are absorbent - then read the rest 😂

Or make cucumber soup.
Then pour down the loo.
