Before cooking, gently wipe the mushrooms clean with a damp cloth or a soft brush to remove any dirt. Avoid washing them under running water, as they can absorb too much moisture, which affects their texture and cooking performance. Trim off the very end of the stem if it appears dry or tough. You can slice them, quarter them, or leave smaller ones whole, depending on your recipe. They can be pan-fried, roasted, grilled, or added directly to stews and stir-fries.
