Mycological Dried Organic Shiitake Mushrooms, 1 Ounce Package

Mushrooms are a staple of my diet. As I don't like going to the grocery store during this pandemic and my mushroom lady at the farmers market stopped showing up, I was forced to look for other avenues for a mushroom supply. I wanted a variety so I ordered four kinds: portabella, porcini, shitake and oyster. (I'm copying this review to the other pages.) When I saw that the mushrooms originated in China I was a little disappointed. Why do dried mushrooms have to fly halfway across the world? Aren't mushrooms being grown in California, or at least in the US? When I looked at other brands it seems most of the available dried mushrooms are grown in China. Oh well. These have been a life saver. I take out enough to last four meals. I wash them, then cook them in my home made chicken/veggie stock for about 20 mins, then freeze them in individual containers so I can defrost them and heat them up with other veggies to make an egg scramble for breakfast. Delicious.

This company nailed it...i love this and their other products.....great addition to soups...stews...stir fries....i put product in Kerr jar... with an oxygen absorber....and these guys stay flavorful...dried and Preserve them for even longer. I have recommended this Product to all six of my children and to my friends and other family members. You like mushrooms. This is the company to go with. I keep on hand "ALL" of the mushrooms they offer!

I not bought anything to compare these to, but they have a good flavor. Additionally, they are mostly whole white few broken pieces and no worms. Atleast none I can see.

These are really good mushrooms. They add a lot of flavor to broths. Rather than soak them, I just break them up into small pieces dry and put them in the soup. They cook quickly. I would for sure buy them again.

These have been great for adding flavor to homemade soup or stock, but they are not edible after doing this, they get very rubbery. Now that I see they are from China, likelihood of being organic approaches zero. That's a bummer.

Believe me when I say I am not a fan of mushrooms but enjoyed these when mixed properly with other dishes. They don't have the typical texture of a normal mushroom and almost feel like a chewy piece of steak in your both. If mixed with a beef stew or stir fry, you'll never know.

I made a delicious Asian style stir fry with these mushrooms, and it was amazing flavor wise; I would definitely buy again.
