I'm with you and Om, obviously. Just a quick rinse, that's all,
you don't scrub them with Comet for pete's sake (laugh). Get
that dirt offa there. No one thinks anything if you wash off an
apple before you eat it; yes, I know, the apple skin is tougher
than the mushroom skin, but they don't soak up as much water
as people would think. Alton Brown even proved that on his
show.
