What happens here

After harvesting, thoroughly wash the shiitake mushrooms under running water to remove any dirt, debris, or insects. Once clean, use a knife to trim off the tough stems, as they are often less palatable. Inspect each mushroom for any bad or discolored spots and cut those sections out.

Goal: Clean and trim shiitake mushrooms for further processing.
