- The place where the mushroom is cut tends to darken very quickly, so the treatment should be carried out immediately after returning from the forest. To begin with, the fruiting bodies are sorted by size, then most of the stems are cut off, and the caps are wiped with a damp towel.
- Before pickling, boiling or frying, honey mushrooms must undergo a soaking procedure in water. It lasts no more than half an hour. This is necessary, since excess bitterness will be removed along with the water, as well as small insects living in the fruit.

Getting rid of excess salt
Canned products differ from fresh mushrooms not only in that the latter are immediately ready for consumption. The bottom line is that during pickling and salting (canning), acetic acid and salt accumulate in the legs and caps. It is these substances that keep mushrooms almost fresh for a long time. Their excess is a completely common occurrence, because if preservative additives are not added, the product can easily become unusable. Therefore, when preparing, they often take a little more acid and salt than required.
Before making fried potatoes with salted mushrooms, you should perform a number of simple steps:
- First, you need to taste the product - it may turn out to be suitable and does not require any processing.
- If there is too much vinegar or salt in the mushrooms, then they need to be soaked in clean water or rinsed using a colander.
- Finally, if there is not so much excess acid and salt, then you can do without any processing, but then you should put less salt in the dish than indicated in the recipe.

Mushrooms must be boiled before frying. This helps reduce toxicity to a safe level and eliminate the acrid taste: the toxic substances of such a mushroom dissolve in water when heated, we pour it out, and the mushrooms themselves become edible. Be sure to boil:

- pink waves
- brittle and stinging russula
- milk mushrooms are black and yellow.
Because of the bitter taste, all those mushrooms that have a burning milky juice are soaked and boiled:
- camphor, alder and sweetish laticifers
- bitters

- white loading pads
- some types of russula, pigs and talkers
