Mushroom cloth

Mushroom cloth

A mushroom cloth is a specially selected piece of fabric whose abrasive properties are particularly useful for removing the outer layer (and soil) from edible mushrooms. The mushroom cloth is a generic term for any piece of clean fabric applied to the task of cleaning mushrooms. A mushroom cloth is preferred because mushrooms are porous and when cleaned under a running tap they absorb water, which affects their taste when cooked or served raw.

Mushroom cloth is used in bookbinding and the interior trim on cars.
