Mushroom caps - Do you peel them?

In my 47 years of existence I've never heard of peeling mushrooms!?

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.

I eat shrimp shells, too. And heads sometimes if the shrimp are smaller.

I have no idea what you're talking about. I wash them and slice/dice them up. That is all.

Seriously, mushrooms have skin??

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.

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.

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

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