How to treat hemp mushrooms
Honey mushrooms are quite easy to process. They have dry caps that don't allow debris to stick to them.Larvae and other insects are almost never found. They darken quickly and cannot be stored for long, so they should be processed on the day of collection.
First of all, they should be sorted out. Rotten, moldy, overgrown and wormy ones must be thrown away. If only the stem or cap is damaged, the whole part of the mushroom can be left. To clear forest debris - use a knife for this. Cut off heavy dirt into thin shavings.
The cape 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 honey mushrooms in salted water for 30 minutes. Rinse, after which you can start boiling.
