Cooking Preparation Tips
Rehydrate for around 45 minutes in cold water, then rinse thoroughly. Then sauté them with garlic and parsley for a real treat alongside meat or poultry.
As it is rehydrated, the dried porcini gains 3.5 times its weight. 10 grams of dried porcini are therefore equivalent to around 35 grams of fresh porcini.

They somehow went mouldy after three months despite me using silica gel packets to absorb moisture, I believe the packaging or the drying is not ideal as I can’t snap the mushrooms in half which could indicate they weren’t dried properly. Additionally I’d recommend glass mason jars instead of the plastic ones to avoid moisture build up
