Instructions
Preparation Steps
Gently wipe the mushrooms with a damp kitchen towel or soft brush to remove any dirt.
Carefully cut larger mushrooms into 1/8 inch thick slices for even drying.
Place the sliced mushrooms in a single layer on dehydrator trays or parchment-lined baking sheets.
Preheat your oven to 130ºF, spread mushrooms evenly, and dry for 4-8 hours, flipping every 1-2 hours.
Set your dehydrator to 125ºF and let them dry for 4-12 hours, checking hourly.
Blend dried mushrooms until finely ground in a high-speed blender or food processor.
Transfer your dried mushrooms into an airtight container and store them properly.
Notes
Store dehydrated mushrooms in an airtight container for up to 12 months in a cool, dark place. Rehydrate by soaking in warm water for 20-30 minutes before use.
