hunting knives |
These

curved stainless steel pruner blade for accurate cutting, a serrated
scraper edge for removing soil without risk of gouging, a brush for
light cleaning and a centimetre scale for checking that the mushroom
is not undersized.

| Mushroom
bag |
 |
Mushrooms
should never be wrapped in plastic - they will sweat and decay quickly.

closer will extend their life and protect their flavour. Keep it handy

| Mushroom
brush |
 |
Cleaning
mushrooms where they are collected is good practice because it helps
to distribute the spores. With over one thousand three-sided bristles,
this neat rectangular brush (size approx. 70mm x 35mm) is more effective
than a traditional brush and is more hygenic because dirt can't become
embedded in the stock. The all-moulded construction allows it to be
cleaned under the tap or in the washing machine or dishwasher after
use.
