Do you peel mushrooms?

No, I don't peel mushrooms. Just wipe with kitchen roll, or brush. Skins are packed with Vit D, and other goodies we need. I just trim off stalk ends.

I just wipe them with kitchen paper peeling them would be wasteful.

Yes I ve always peeled them that’s how Nan used to do it
It takes two seconds because it just comes away so easily
never wash them though that takes longer

We've just had portobello mushrooms with our lunch. I never peel mushrooms of any description, I just wipe the dirt off them with damp kitchen paper.

It's a no from me.

No, not small bought ones.

I peel the large field mushrooms which actually have been picked from the field by a farmer friend, as they are sometimes a bit dirty.

as they are peelable I peel them!

Yes because my lovely Mum taught me it was safer to do so and that's plenty good enough for me.

No. I wipe them with kitchen paper.

No, I do not wash either, they will absorb water affecting the flavour.

No ,just rinse them under the tap.

No, never do anything with them bar picking off obvious lumps of compost.

Life's too short 😂 I just give them a wipe, saying that most of them don't even make the pan - I love raw mushrooms.

Same here. I just give them a wipe too. Never mind life being too short to stuff a mushroom (although I love stuffed mushrooms) - it's too short to peel them!

Some. Mostly I just wipe them.

No but I wash them and make sure there is no soil on them. I used to peel the great big ones but not anymore.

No. I clean with a damp cloth.

Why would you peel a mushroom!!?
Never have and never will.

As the great John McEnroe, would say " "You cannot be seeeerious!!"

No, just wipe or brush.

Nope.

No, never wash them either unless they are a variety which are particularly sandy and it’s recommended.

I have a mushroom brush for those which need the soil removing.

Yes, always. I dilike the texture of the skins when I am eating mushrooms, and find it extremely difficult to be certain that no earth is still adhering to them when I am preparing them.

So for safety's sake I would always advise that you peel mushrooms carefully.

No!
