NEVER! Life is too short to peel mushrooms (quote from the Two Fat Ladies who collectively are my spirit animal). Only I think the quote refers to stuffing mushrooms which life is also too short for. The most a mushroom gets from me is a wipe with a damp paper towel, and not always that if they look clean.
I first encountered this insane practice in The Bear and to date I maintain: WTF?!
I can’t imagine ever wanting to peel mushrooms, what a tedious task. There’s not mush room left once you’ve peeled them anyway. I imagine most of the flavour and nutrients are probably in the skin or some shit anyway. So, no, I do not peel and never will
I wholeheartedly agree with and endorse this exception. I will clean the oily floor of a restaurant kitchen with one single rag and a bucket if Olivia Colman asks me to.
Gather round Thread… for I have a very important question:
Mushrooms (the eating sort). Do you peel or not?
I put them in as is like a pleb :(
Chop coarsely and then scrape directly into the bin
Wrong. Cook in pan after steak and make mushroom gravy
Or beef and mushroom pie
Or zap in microwave topped with cheese

I miss those ladies! I loved how they used to cook wearing all those rings on their fingers.
I’m not in the “I have time to peel mushrooms” socio economic bracket lol
I don’t even cut them normally. I just read them into chunks 🤣
I support this method
Wash, cut and cook.
Never considered peeling them.
Rehydrate, use the stock, bin the rest
I thought the standard was to wipe with a damp paper towel

Haha I was thinking of the Bear as I was chopping - hence the question. I never peel
But I would if Olivia Coleman asked

I wash and slice a sliver off the bottom of the stalk. Mr P doesn’t wash them, only wipes sometimes. Neither of us peel.
I peel them if I’m making soup, otherwise no.
Peel them? That’s a thing? Lol
I eat them by the punnet like popcorn 😂
No way!
