The dirt they grow in is very safe and will not hurt you, my nephew used to deliver it to farms in Canada. They sterilise the dirt so that the only thing that will grow is the mushroom spores they use. My wife used to spend ages peeling them ;-) I just flick off the odd dark bits with a brush of dry paper like you and job done. I have used mushrooms that started to a bit slimy and then use them for cooking, but I did wash them first. They do say to store in a paper bag they will last longer in the fridge but will dry out a little. Another great video
Yes, you're right. It's definitely optional. But a lot of my viewers have asked me how to clean mushrooms, so I made this video for them. Thanks for watching!
Well, the "manure" that they grow them in is pasteurized, so there is actually no danger in eating them with a little dirt on them. Just personal preference.
Agreed. I always felt using a damp paper towel mostly just smears the dirt around. I figure they're already full of water so 15 seconds of rinsing won't add much more. If it takes an extra 2-3 minutes to cook the water out, so be it.

Yea...sure...see you in the hospital.
Thanks it's a better idea than just brushing the dirt off with my finger , which was what I was doing.
LOL, well, if it works, it's valid!
I love yummy mushrooms
I love this channel, but geez. I don't have the patience for that. I rather that they just spend some more time in the pan.

Well who knew? Thanks
Need patience 😢
That’s not clean enough, how about washing them with water and then drying them out in the air thanks 🙏🏼
That’s not clean enough either. I scrub mine with a Brillo pad and hot soapy water with a splash of bleach for good measure.
too much work
