Here’s why you should carry a knife with you when you’re harvesting mushrooms, especially fleshy polypores like #chickenofthewoods. The new growth is found along the edges, so cutting can actually allow the mushroom to flush a second time! Using a mushroom knife gives you a secondary tool — a brush for removing surface dirt and insects to keep your basket nice and clean and minimize the amount of cleaning you have to do at home.
