4.0 out of 5 stars Very Good!
I wanted to have a more healthy type of mushroom on hand for cooking other than the canned variety so tried these. I let them "reconstitute" for quite a while (a couple of hours...though package says half an hour...) based on reviews of other dried mushrooms. Though they're mushroom caps, there still was a small stem portion on a few and even after all that soaking,...

1.0 out of 5 stars Total RIPOFF for low Quality
Look elsewhere for a better DEAL on Amazon by buying bulk than this ripoff OVERPRICED item.
Besides, these contain stems/partial stems, which not only cheapens the price but wounds up uneven done-ness. If you want best quality, your best bet would be to look for stem-free (caps only) variety even though they tend to cost more. From one gourmet chef to another, hope...

This review is from: FungusAmongUs Dried Mushrooms, Organic Shiitake, 1-Ounce Units (Pack of 4) (Grocery)
I wanted to have a more healthy type of mushroom on hand for cooking other than the canned variety so tried these. I let them "reconstitute" for quite a while (a couple of hours...though package says half an hour...) based on reviews of other dried mushrooms. Though they're mushroom caps, there still was a small stem portion on a few and even after all that soaking, they were still rather tough so I cut them off before cooking. They cooked well (used them in beef stroganoff and also sauteed them with butter on their own) and they tasted good. Only issue was the odor they gave off when soaking - very strong/not pleasant - but this didn't affect taste at all. Will definitely use again/keep on hand for when I can't get fresh mushrooms.

I am happy with this purchase. Shiitake mushrooms are supposed to be a very healthy food, and these 1 oz packages make it easy to keep a supply on hand. They taste fine too.
