Should You Soak Mushrooms After Finding Them? How Long?

It is not a good idea to eat mushrooms you find outside unless you are an expert at identifying the good from the poisonous. If you buy fresh ones at the market, you just brush them with a soft damp cloth to remove any dirt, soaking them will make them soggy.

If you are using dried mushrooms then in order to have the full taste and flavor soak them in cold water for about 12 hours and keep them in the fridge. And it is better not to put anything in the water.
