Mushrooms can absorb water, so if you do wash them, don't soak them, use a soft brush a brush them off and a quick rinse.
Never washed, but wiped off with a soft cloth. ☺️
No just brushed.

It is best to rinse the mushrooms in cold water before using. Dry with a paper towel before cooking to get rid of excess moisture.
