Tara, I now wash all my mushrooms.  I got permission <grin> from Jaques
Pepin on a TV cooking show.  He said all you need to do is wash them quickly
and immediately before using rather than earlier, that way they don't have
time to get mushy from soaking up water.  Depending on what I'm doing with
them, I may or may not dry them before I toss them in the dish.  I find
absolutely no difference in them in flavor or texture or cooking time from
ones that have just been brushed clean and I feel much better knowing I'm
not eating grit or who knows what.  You now have permission to wash yours,
too.

Tara wrote in her recipe for mushroom curry:

500g really tiny fresh mushrooms, washed (normally you shouldn't, but if
you'd seen how dirty these ones were...)
