Equipment
1
Vegetable Peeler
1 paring knife
Instructions
Trim the matsutake stem of dirt, then peel with a vegetable peeler.
If the cap is very dirty they can be peeled, which means you'll lose some mushroom, but it's better than having them dirty.
If the mushrooms still have visible dirt on them, swish them quickly in a sink of cold water.
Store the mushrooms in the fridge in a Zip Loc bag with a dry paper towel. They'll last for a week if they've very fresh.
