Dried Porcini Mushrooms Grade B - 4 oz. Life Gourmet Shop

I am very happy with these dried porcini. The smell whenever I open the package is amazing. The pieces are just like in the photos, pretty big pieces. I was afraid as I've seen reviews on other bags of dried porcini that mentioned 1. very small pieces and 2. lots of insects. Well maybe I'm lucky, but the pieces are as big as I could expect with dried mushrooms. And I haven't seen any insect move in the bag. Maybe they are hidden and I'm eating them, I have no idea. I soak the pieces in warm/hot water, and add them to other mushrooms cooking in the skillet. At the end I add a bit of the soaking liquid to steam the mix. Delicious on pizza or by itself. The soaking liquid is also very nice on rice. I think that bag is going to disappear quickly.

I grind them in a coffee grinder and use them to coat steaks before cooking. You can also use the powder in gravy, soups and so many other foods to add an earthy depth.

The aroma right out of the package is incredibly intoxicating. My only slight complaint is that it feels like it’s not very dried, but feels a bit like it has absorbed some moisture in the air. They should have included a desiccant in the package.

Great service! Arrived within a few days and were just what I wanted. I was prepared for some grit, so it didn't surprise me, but you definitely have to strain it out after soaking the mushrooms.

I made a yummy mushroom soup using these along with fresh reminiscing, added the soaking liquid filtered with a coffee filter to the broth.

These were excellent. Large pieces of porcini, almost zero sand, pungent and full of flavor.

This is a good way to buy porcini for use in risotto as well as for soups and stews. The cost is less than half of what the little packets in the stores cost and the pieces are big and firm with very little dust.

Very good porcini mushrooms. Clean, excellent taste, and aroma.
