How to process hemp mushrooms
Honey mushrooms are quite simple to process. They have dry hats that don't stick to debris. Larvae and other insects are almost never found. They darken quickly and cannot be stored for long, so they must be recycled on the day of harvest.
First of all, they should be sorted out. Rotten, moldy, overgrown and wormy must be thrown away. If only the stem or cap is spoiled, the whole part of the mushroom can be left. To clean off forest debris - use a knife for this. Cut off stubborn dirt with thin chips.
The drape under the hat and on the leg should be removed. This can be done with a stiff brush or knife. To get rid of small debris and bugs, you can soak mushrooms in salted water for 30 minutes. Rinse, after which you can start boiling.
How much to cook hemp mushrooms

Remove foam periodically with a spoon or slotted spoon. The readiness to check is simple: all mushrooms will settle to the bottom of the pan.
