How do I clean mushrooms?

I posted earlier. I'm still in the anti-washing camp -- I think water makes mushrooms mushy.
I only dust off visible dirt. Typically takes about as long to clean a pint of mushrooms as it takes to heat the pan I'm going to cook them in. |

I peel them, look for the skin on the inside of the mushroom, lift the skin and peel.

put in a bowl of water, stir around, brush each gently with hands then dry in a strainer with a paper towel before cooking.
it only takes 5-10 minutes. |

| if they are already cut up like shiitake mushrooms and pre-packaged, I don't usually wash if they are going to be cooked. Otherwise, I rinse under the faucet and rub a little with my fingers to get the dirt off. I pat dry with a paper towel. |
