I buy loose white mushrooms by the pound instead of the pre- packaged ones. They are bigger, plumper and fresher. They do cost a little more but I get a 1/2 lb. which is usually the cost of the packaged 10 oz. mushrooms. I trim the stem and peel the skin as soon as I can; then cut them into slices and store in fridge. They have a beautiful clean white look to them. No need to wash them unless you feel you still must.

That is a very good idea to buy the loose mushrooms. When I buy mushrooms, as soon as I get them home, I gently rinse and slice, spray a plate with Pam, and lay the slices on it and then freeze. When they are frozen, I put them in zip lock bags.
