How to buy the best mushrooms
Choose mushrooms that are firm, plump and have a smooth appearance. Avoid mushrooms that are sweating or wrinkled. Mushrooms with a closed veil (gills hidden) will have a more delicate flavour than those with the gills exposed.
How to store mushrooms
Mushrooms are best stored in the fridge. Place mushrooms in a paper bag topped with a damp paper towel to prevent the mushrooms drying out. Storing mushrooms in plastic will cause them to sweat and become slimy. If stored correctly fresh mushrooms will keep for up to a week in the fridge.
The best way to prepare mushrooms for cooking
No waste and no fuss make mushrooms one of the easiest ingredients to prepare. There is no need to peel mushrooms. Apart from being time consuming, a lot of goodness and flavour is in the skin. Wipe mushrooms gently with a damp cloth.
If necessary, simply use a soft brush to remove any dirt from the skin surface and trim the stem end. If there is some residual compost still on the mushroom when you buy them, just brush it off. Do not soak mushrooms in water, as the mushrooms will absorb water.
Tips for foraging mushrooms
You can catch the tail-end of the wild mushroom season in Australia which usually starts late April and winds down by August. The most common variety available that is safe to eat are pine mushrooms, also known as saffron milk caps for their distinct colour. Always engage a professional forager who can educate you on how to safely identify and harvest edible varieties, as consuming poisonous fungi can be lethal.
