Q: What should I look for when buying mushrooms? The biggest indicator of mushroom quality and freshness is their moisture. Fresh mushrooms should feel relatively dry and firm to the touch. As mushrooms age, their internal structure starts to break down, giving them a blotchy appearance and wet or slimy texture.

Look for mushrooms with no deep discolorations or wet spots. Dirt on mushrooms is to be expected and not an indicator of quality, though obviously the more dirt you find on a mushroom, the more cleaning it's going to require down the line. Q: Should I wash mushrooms? You may have heard that you should never, under any circumstances, submerge your mushrooms in water.

The argument goes that the porous mushrooms will absorb excess moisture and become slimy when cooked. But we've put it to the test , and while we found that mushrooms will absorb a small amount of moisture—we're talking one or two percent by weight—it's not enough to actually effect your cooking.

Got a dirty batch of mushrooms? Give them a rinse under cold running water and then spin them dry in a salad spinner. For particularly dirty wild mushrooms, a damp paper towel or a small brush can be used to remove dirt and mud from cracks and crevices.

Mushrooms, with their high moisture content are ideal targets for mold and bacterial spoilage.

The best way to ensure that they last as long as possible it to store them in the refrigerator with plenty of air circulation. A loosely folded paper bag or in a single layer in a plastic container with the lid kept cracked open should help your mushrooms stay fresh for a week or so.

If storing your mushrooms for a few days, we recommend waiting to wash them until just before cooking to discourage any excess moisture retention. Q: What's the best way to cook mushrooms? The key is to make sure that you cook them for long enough.

Mushrooms have plenty of moisture that sogs up the pan during the early stages of cooking. Only once you cook off that liquid will the mushrooms brown and concentrate in flavor. The biggest mistake first-time mushroom cooks make is not cooking them long enough. Make sure to leave them in the pan and wait until you hear that sizzle and see that browning! Q: Can dried mushrooms be substituted for fresh? Most wild mushrooms have a short picking season that last for a few months or less, making dried mushrooms like porcini, morel, or chanterelle an attractive option for the rest of the year.

Unfortunately, dried mushrooms cannot be used interchangeably with fresh mushrooms, though they are excellent when rehydrated and used in saucy or simmered dishes like soups and stews. Q: What's the best way to cook with dried mushrooms?

We like to rehydrate our dried mushrooms in hot water or stock by placing them in a microwave-safe container, covering them with liquid, then microwaving them on high power until steaming hot. Once out of the microwave, we cover them with plastic wrap and let them rest until fully hydrated this takes more or less 10 minutes depending on the type of mushroom. Don't have a microwave? Bring water or stock to a boil in a pot, remove from heat, add your dried mushrooms, and cover with a lid until they're hydrated about minutes.

Cultivated mushrooms are typically available year-round. Broadly speaking, cultivated mushrooms are saprobic , meaning that they get their nutrients from dead material such as rotting logs. Not all of these mushrooms are available in your average supermarket. They may require a trip to a farmer's market, Asian market, or high end grocery store. Alternatively, mushroom-growing kits can be purchased online—it makes a fun gardening project or gift for the mushroom fanatic in your life.
