Do you peel skin off of a mushroom?

For regular mushrooms bought in you local supermarket or veg shop the answer is no, don't peel them and you should not wash them either, just lightly brush of any dirt and they ready to be used.

This might not be the case for some of the more exotic and rare mushrooms, but you need to go hunting in the countryside for these and know which are not poisonous.
