Because it has such a mild flavor, it works well with most types of other foods. This is one of the best reasons to use it. They tend to work well as a way to bulk up a dish to make it a bit more hardy without adding a lot of flavor to it. While they still bring a great deal of consistency, they do not necessarily overpower other flavors in your cooking. Adding them to a soup or stew, for example, allows them to absorb the spices and flavorings you add to it, creating a hardy, rich dish.

Then, use nothing more than a damp cloth to clean off any dirt. You do not want to wash them under running water. Store them in your refrigerator. Usually, it is best to keep them away from other mushrooms or any other fruit or vegetable with a strong flavor. You will find they can last a week or older in this way. Pull them out and use them whenever you want something fantastic to add to a dish.
