I picked up these lovely chanterelles at my farmers market today; luckily they are pretty clean already. When there is more dirt involved I have no problem running them under water, but I know for some this is blasphemy. Alton Brown did a bit of debunking about how much water mushrooms absorb, but the opposition is strong and well-organized. Mushroom brush, anybody? Wash? Brush? Rinse? Dab? Penny for your thoughts?
