I really like this product. I find they soften in as little as 10 minutes or so. I simply sort through them and pull out the kind of mushrooms that I'm after (either porcini or chanterelles, for instance). The best part of using dried mushrooms is using the flavored water that the mushrooms steep in, such as pasta sauces, risotto, etc. I never throw it away.

As to other people's comments about dirt or rocks, this is my second jar and I have never encountered that. Like dried beans, you should visually inspect the dried mushrooms before you add them to recipes; sometimes the steps do not revive well and stay tough. In general, reconstituted dried mushrooms do have a chewier texture. I encountered this when drying my own mushrooms. Some of this is just the process, not this particular product. I went to Italy last year and bought several packages of dried porcini and some of them were a bit chewy, too.

You do get better and fresher dried mushrooms if you buy them in small quantities, but they are much, much more expensive. I use for Italian mushrooms for special occasions, and use these for my everyday cooking.

If you use 'mushrooms' in many of your prepared foods, these are an excellent choice. No wastage, just take a 'handful' soak in hot water and add to the dish. If you're doing a pasta just chuck them in the boiling water with the 'noodles.' Deal done.

I love these mushrooms. They are very good - I soak them in water approximately 10 minutes then use them in any recipe that calls for mushrooms. I live on a ranch and can't run down to the supermarket on a minute's notice; this way, I always have them on hand.
