Mushroom caps - Do you peel them?

Sometimes when I rinse them off a bit of...skin, peel...will come off, but I don't deliberately take it off.0

I have never heard of peeling a mushroom. All the shows on TV that I have watched say to wipe them off with a damp cloth. If they look too dirty for that, I will rinse them. It is said that the average person inadvertently eats a pound of dirt in a lifetime! :noway:0

I take a spoon and scrape out the ribs of a portabello after removing the stem.
I have never peeled the outside of any mushroom.0 -

I to was taught by my mum to peel them, but we ate them straight off the farm where cows could have pooed on them. I don't peel the one I buy from supermarket tho.0

Mushrooms used to be grown in manure hence some people would peel them as a precaution against ecoli.
These days, at least in Canada, they use a pasteurized substrate, so most people don't bother to peel them.0 -
I eat the whole thing including stalks0

NONONONONONO!
Please don't peel your mushrooms. Wipe them, wash them a little if you must, but don't peel them. Why would you want to remove the outer skin? That is the part that gets the little bit of caramelization that makes them taste so much better in sauces and as a side dish.
My mother uses the canned things. It makes me so very sad.0 -
Just the cap...0

i don't think i would if i cooked with them. i don't cook much, but i also don't peel food much. i eat chopped up mango and leave the peel on, i don't peel shrimp, eat 'em peel and all.
i do, however, peel bananas. i feel like that would be tough to choke down.0 -
In my 47 years of existence I've never heard of peeling mushrooms!?

I eat shrimp shells, too. And heads sometimes if the shrimp are smaller.0 -
I have no idea what you're talking about. I wash them and slice/dice them up. That is all.0

Seriously, mushrooms have skin??0 -
I'm a fellow peeler! My mom taught me that when I was young. Don't know if it's a cultural thing? I'm from Germany.
I am too and my parents never cooked them this way...maybe a regional thing?
washed em... never peeled.0 -
I didn't even realize this was a thing people did until I saw a friend doing it a couple months ago. I never do it - don't really see the point.0

Nope, all you need to do is wipe with a damp cloth.0

I don't even wash them. Just brush the dirt off. It is sterilized dirt anyway.0
