DISCARD the water you use to soak the dried mushrooms!!!
衛生署食品衛生處長陳陸宏說，依他瞭解，市售香菇幾乎都是從大陸走私來的，但因非從合法管道口，在開放三通前，政府單位很難從源頭控管。
目前只能建議，盡量吃台灣香菇，且香菇食用前宜先沖洗泡水，泡過香菇的水切記要倒掉。
民眾習於把浸泡後的香菇水倒入鍋中同煮，陳陸宏建議, 此一習慣最好戒掉，因為農藥多半是水溶性的。
陳陸宏說，他還不清楚日本對大陸香菇的檢驗方法及結果為何，不過依過去他們對香菇農藥殘留量的研究，香菇本身就含有大量的硫，很容易干擾一些農藥如 Carbamate 的檢驗結果，使得二硫化碳的檢出量偏高，影響判讀結果.................
For those of you who cannot read Chinese, this message is to warn you against using the water you soak your mushrooms in.
Most of the mushrooms on the market are from China, and are contaminated with chemicals (I think it is carbon bisulfide, correct me if I am wrong) which are soluble in water.
You must discard the water in which you soak to soften the dried mushrooms.
