  1. Hi everyone. I work for Edelman, the PR firm representing the Mushroom Council. We just wanted to respond with an official answer for the two questions posted above. It looks like everyone's pretty much got it right, but we wanted to confirm that you do not need to remove the gills. Depending on the dish you're preparing, some people will remove the gills because the gills create a dark color when mixed into foods. With regards to the question about uncooked mushrooms. Don't worry, mushrooms are healthy whether they are raw or cooked. The Mushroom Council recommends brushing off any dirt with a damp paper towel or fingers, rinsing only briefly under running water and pat dry with a paper towel. Never soak them, as they absorb moisture. Finally you can trim the end of the stem, if it seems tough. Don't hesitate to let us know if you have any other questions!
