Trimming and Slicing Mushrooms
Trimming and slicing mushrooms are worth the effort because of the flavor they impart. Whole mushrooms need some cleaning and trimming — and slicing if the recipe calls for it.

Place the mushroom caps, flat-side down, and slice them perpendicular to the cutting board.
This technique gives you strips of mushroom at whatever thickness you cut them.

You can use these smaller chunks in soups and sauces, for example.
