• Stir the vinegar and oil dressing well and ladle over the mushrooms in the jars, maintaining the 1/2 inch of headspace.
• Moisten a paper towel with vinegar and use that to wipe the rims of the jars clean.
• Fix jar lids in place and tighten appropriately.
• Use canning tongs to transfer the jars to a canner full of boiling water that covers the jars by 2 inches.
• Put the lid of the canner in place, return the water to a boil, and process for 20 minutes.
