Thanks, I have to laff a little though. 98% more than just water. But -- but- er -- do they tell you what percent that water takes off. What if it takes off none. What is the calculation? 98% x 0% = tee hee. Just nit-picking.
Here is a quote from one of the pages: FIT doesn't really clean any better than this, it just does it with a little less effort. A small cautionary: Never soak mushrooms in this manner. Scrub them, and then rinse minimally under cold running water. Letting them soak allows them to absorb extra water.
The other day I read in one of the cook's illustrated books, their measurements of how much water a mushroom would absorb if soaked. It was almost nothing; basically negligible. I would cite it, but there are too many books swirling around here to pick up the right one. Dee Dee

I use the quick rinse method myself except when canning them and that calls for a more involved method. I don't care I'd rather not eat manure thank-you very much 🙂
If they are commercially farmed mushrooms, you dont need to worry too much. The manure used in growing mushrooms reaches temperatures high enough to kill harmful bacteria in its journey to becoming compost. The ick factor is still there, though, I guess. Better autoclave your toothbrushes, too 🙂 --

Did you know that you have little bugs living all over your skin and in your body?

Yeah....and e. coli in your intestines, which is where they belong.

The bugs belong there, too. I just don't get the uber-squeamishness, that's all.

Most comercial mushroom farms these days use the mash left over from beer breweries.
