Porcini mushrooms are valued for their meaty texture, great depth of flavor and distinct shape. They have a classic embellished mushroom shape and large slices. The meat-like texture of Porcini, with its earthy and somewhat nutty flavor is unequaled among mushrooms and lends itself to countless dishes. Dried porcinis have a buttery fragrance.

Porcinis grow wild in Pacific Northwest forests typically from June to July and again in September.

Origin: All of our wild mushrooms are sustainably hand-foraged in the pristine mountains of the Pacific Northwest.

Applications: Porcini mushrooms are rich, meaty and amazingly versatile, delicate enough to give grace to an elegant stew or sauce, and yet vigorous enough to stand up to something as flavorful as a thick grilled steak.

How to Reconstitute: Simmer dried mushrooms in 1 cup of liquid (water, stock, milk or wine) per ounce of mushrooms for 20 minutes in a covered pan. Strain broth through a coffee filter and reserve for use in the main dish or stock. Rinse the rehydrated mushrooms under water, slice, and add to your recipe.

Storage and Handling: Dried wild mushrooms can be stored away from light at room temperature for at least a year in airtight plastic bags, jars or other containers. Dried mushrooms do not need to be refrigerated.

Specifications: Your dried porcini mushrooms will arrive in a large zip lock bag. It takes about 5 pounds of fresh mushrooms to create 8 ounces of dried mushrooms.
