Tips for Choosing Mushrooms: Appearance: Choose mushrooms that appear plump, fresh and smooth.  The mushrooms should be dry, but not look dried out.   Flavor: A closed veil under the cap indicates the mushroom will have a delicate flavor, while an open veil with exposed gills suggest a richer flavor.

Tips for Storing Mushrooms: Most mushrooms will keep for about a week in the refrigerator when stored in their original packaging, or a porous paper bag. Mushrooms tend to absorb odors from other foods, so keep them away from anything strong-smelling in your refrigerator.

Tips for Cleaning Mushrooms: Mushrooms absorb water like a sponge, so if you're planning on eating them raw, don't rinse them.  Instead, use a dry paper towel to brush off any dirt.  If the mushrooms are really dirty, it's okay to wipe them off with a dampened paper towel. If the mushrooms are being cooked, it's okay to rinse them if they're really dirty.
