............. I can post later. Not smart French mushrooms like hers, but they are home-grown. And very yummy, in a sauce with shallots, wine and crème frâiche. The mouse is there to indicate that they were remarkably large mushrooms. Ro said "What's the point of that? It isn't even a real mouse." I explained. "Why didn't you at least use your Mac mouse then? Or your iPod?"
I don't wash mushrooms unless they are really dirty field-grown ones. But I know someone who works in the local mushroom factory (as it's known!) and she strongly advises washing them. She hasn't said why........
Sometimes we get puffballs, but only if the weather is right, early morning dew but not rain or frost.
Delightful people with a little too much time on their hands

Oh, what's the problem? This is hardly Great Literature. I'd appreciate anything taken from here being acknowledged, and I might change my mind if I'm suddenly proclaimed as the Literary Queen of the Blogosphere - but I probably wouldn't. Do what you like, just as long as it doesn't extend to defamation of anyone, even me.
Actually, you want to pass off what I say as your own, I might even be flattered. Let's face it, who cares anyway?

Do you wash your mushrooms or just tap them?

You can get dinky little mushroom brushes in upmarket kitchen paraphernalia shops.
Ro's too old to put across my knee or to tickle (which would be my preferred option). He's nearly a foot taller than me, for one thing.
It's my health that's at risk - who do you think would end up squirming on the floor?
oh well, dung's all right - it's organic, innit?
Hah! They're nothing like my mushies..hah! But then - yours are way way way cleaner..mine were covered in green stuff and dirt. Gah.
Yours were fabulous. No competition. But I'm a humble soul who is glad of a simple field mushroon from a simple Norfolk field.
