How to choose fresh and delicious straw mushrooms
- When buying straw mushrooms, you should choose those that are black or gray as they will be tastier than the white ones.
- Choose mushrooms that are round or cylindrical, still have buds, and are intact without any bruises or leaking water.
- Observe the surface; if the mushrooms are wrinkled, they are spoiled, and you should absolutely avoid mushrooms with a foul smell.
