Before cooking, gently wipe the mushrooms clean with a damp cloth or paper towel to remove any dirt. Avoid washing them under running water, as they can absorb too much moisture. Trim off the very end of the stem if it appears dry. You can slice, quarter, or leave them whole, depending on your recipe. They can be pan-fried, roasted, or added directly to soups and stews. Cooking time will vary based on the size and preparation method.

Store any unused mushrooms in their original packaging or in a paper bag in the refrigerator. Avoid sealing them in plastic, as this can trap moisture and cause them to spoil more quickly. Check them periodically and use them within a few days for best quality.
