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.

I use dried mushrooms frequently in making soup and thought I'd give these a try. I would say that they are not as intense in flavor as others I've used. In addition, one of the mushrooms in the mix is a sort of flat, slippery and crunchy variety - not a good mix with the others, which are more soft and meaty in terms of texture - and I usually leave them out of whatever I'm cooking. Possibly they'd be good in an omelette but I haven't been that adventurous.

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.
