I thought this was a fair price for these mushrooms, but was quite disappointed. I soaked the mushrooms, as advised and then added them to a soup.

The next trial was in a risotto.
The mushrooms lack flavor in general. The stems of these mushrooms are quite inedible; they are very tough and have to be trimmed after soaking. I would not recommend them and wouldn't repurchase.

The first batch was pretty good. In the second batch only about 50% was edible. Tough, chewy and not fun to eat.

A great buy when you consider the price of shiitakes in the stores. I used to buy large bags of shiitakes at Costco', but do not carry them anymore. Once these mushrooms are rehydrated, they are great in soups, casseroles, sauces, etc. They keep a long time--I keep them in a large airtight jar in the pantry. Great to have on hand when fresh is not available or you don't want to make a trip to the store.

I can't buy these fresh or dried where I live, so I was glad to find these. They are great in soups & casseroles. I've also soaked them in water and used them in omelets. Going to try them in a salad tonight.

these are quite tasty and relatively easy to use. they, however, did not come with instructions on rehydrating. finding instructions online is easy enough though.
