Description: The flavour has been described as nutty and slightly meaty, with a smooth, creamy texture, and a distinctive aroma reminiscent of sourdough. Italian chef and restaurateur Antonio Carluccio has described it as representing “the wild mushroom par excellence”, and hails it as the most rewarding of all fungi in the kitchen for its taste and versatility.

HOW to STORE and HANDLE DRIED WILD MUSHROOMS

• Dried wild mushrooms can be reconstituted by placing them in a bowl with warm water, wine or stock. Mushrooms should rehydrate in 15-20 minutes and then be strained in a colander to remove any excess liquid and debris.
• Once reconstituted, the wild mushrooms will yield about 6-8 times their dried weight.
• Unused dried mushrooms should be kept in air tight packaging once opened in order to reduce their exposure to unwanted moisture.
• Wild mushrooms will last for months when stored in a dry area away from direct sunlight.
