Wash mushrooms?

Thank you.

My statement was probably more definitive than it should have been. And yes, we don't know each other. That's why I described my background - so you could see where I'm coming from.

I have been washing mushrooms for over 40 years and have never, ever, noticed they retain water. I have even put them in a bowl of water to clean them again, nothing happened other than they got cleaned.

I rinse under running water and check for anything I may have missed. If the mushroom should retain any extra water, it will all cook out. It is the least of my worries in the kitchen. I just want to make sure the mushrooms are clean and ready to eat.
