- In narrow container (have a matching container or something to hold them down), combine the mushrooms with just enough water to barely cover.
- Weigh them down with a heavy item or make sure the container is filled with water and mushrooms up to the top before covering.
- Soak overnight.
- Rub the gills under water to remove any grit. Let the dirt settle to the bottom and then decant (pour off) the clear liquid, leaving the grit behind (use a filter, if desired).
