I wonder if it matters what type of mushroom? The Polish mushrooms are very different than the types grown here in the states....maybe some get thicker on the outside or something? I dunno lots about shrooms LOL. As for slimy, that sounds nasty, like a shroom gone bad. They should never be slimy!

You're right - not the best description, Catherine! :) I just meant that the smooth top of a peeled mushroom is more pleasing in a salad or raw situation. I'm so used to no peels that when the peels are on, the texture feels a lot different when you're eating them, that's all. Don't worry - I don't do slimy mushrooms!!! Yuck!

I come from an italian family and am a HUGE mushroom eater, but I have never heard of peeling them! I was totally confused as to how you would do that until you explained it! We always just wipe them down with a wet cloth. Although I'm not too fond of the woody stems, so I usually cut off the part that hangs down below the mushroom cap. Other than that, we just chop and cook! How interesting! I'm only 29, but I've only ever eaten mushrooms with the "peels" on and I've survived, so I think you'd be okay too if you gave up that step in your mushroom prep! :)

I was taught to wipe mushrooms with a paper towl and never run them under water since the water makes them soggy and mushy. Never ever heard of one peeling mushrooms. Hope you figure out what to do with your mushrooms. They are good arean't they!
Appreciate the little things, for they are not really that little. |
