Preparing Shiitake mushrooms?

Posted by gizzipunk, January 29, 2009

I have some porcini mushrooms and portabello mushrooms both dried that I'm going to use in some mushroom risotto. I bought fresh shiitake mushrooms. I washed them out of habit but they smell like a wet forest. How should i have prepared them? Do I need to cut the stems off?
