Sometimes, you find yourself in the midst of a good problem. Of course, I speak of the bountiful forage hike where you come home with more mushrooms than you can feasibly eat before they all go bad. Well, fear not! You can always dry them and use them throughout the year! The general method is pretty much the same regardless of the mushrooms you’re drying (as evidenced by the fact that we dried Chicken of the Woods, Hen of the Woods, and Turkey Tail all at the same time…I guess we actually have a poultry mushroom theme).
Time: 2-3 Hours
What You Will Need:
- Wild Mushrooms
- An oven or dehydrator (we used dehydrator)
- A clean scrubby
- Lots of running water
- Paper Towels
- Baking Sheet(s) or dehydrator racks
- Zip Top Bags
