I'll tell ya! I am using my new dehydrator. It is taking for-ever to get them all done but slowly but surely I am getting them cleaned and dry and packages.
new problem arose, we have 68% humidity as a minimum around here lately so after dehydrating I packed them in paper bags, which was the most common advise for storage and the mushrooms started to re-hydrate from the ambient moisture. So now I am trying to vacuum seal them in those canisters I got with my vacuum sealer and have never used. This way I can open it, take out what I need and re-seal.

| some are pretty good sized too |
It is amazing how much of them are water. After starting with more than5 gallons of mushrooms I ended up with about a gallon of dried mushrooms.
Not sure how many of these I will uses over the winter but Brady is having lots of fun hunting with Vic so as long as it keeps him out of trouble right! Next batch I am making homemade cream of mushroom soup! Found a recipe that yields equivalent to 3 cans of soup. I stopped using canned soup for cooking a couple years ago and have been hoping to find a good recipe. Fingers crossed!
