Pour the mushrooms with room temperature water. Add some salt, about 10 grams per liter, and citric acid on the tip of a knife. Leave to soak for 2-3 days. Change the water several times daily, adding salt and acid each time.

Rinse the waves after soaking. Cut large mushrooms into pieces so that they cook at the same time as small ones.
