You can do this either by using a vegetable brush to clean gently or place mushrooms in a colander and run under warm running water. Then pat dry. Do not soak mushrooms.

Place in breading mix and toss to coat
Transfer coated mushrooms to a clean dry plate.
Repeat process till all the mushrooms are coated.
Let breaded mushrooms sit in the plate for about 5 mins. This will help the breadcrumbs absorb the moisture from the eggs and stick better to that mushrooms.
Lightly spray the air fryer basket then place mushroom in a single layer in the basket.

Notes
Try to choose equal sized mushrooms. This will help all cook evenly.
Let the breaded mushrooms rest for 5 mins before air frying.
If you want the sour cream and onion dip at room temperature, make it right after the mushrooms are ready or bring it out of the refrigerator as soon as you start air frying the mushrooms.
You can use white mushrooms or portobello mushrooms for this recipe. If using Portobello you can cut in quarts to make it smaller.
