Is it true you have to wash them really well or you can taste the dirt?

Most definitely. If you pick them fresh you are supposed to soak them in water for at least a day to remove the dirt, and any bugs that may live in the honeycomb like holes of the mushroom.
Then our family tends to scrub them after that because there really is a lot of dirt and things that like the mushroom, but after that much cleaning they are fine to eat and don't taste like dirt, or so I have been told.
