Question:

Can you share any tips for prolonged storage of fresh mushrooms? Dehydrate them?
— Ti Bowen
Answer:
Yeah, that's exactly what I do, is I dehydrate mushrooms. Um, you know, I have, I'm fortunate enough to have a, a neighbor who his hobby is, um, foraging for fresh mushrooms. So here in, uh, Madison oyster mushrooms are actually, um, uh, a crop that people don't want. It's an evasive species in Madison, so he will go out and pick tons and tons of oyster mushrooms and, um, my dehydrator will be full pretty much all spring and, you know, uh, summer of different mushrooms and different things and mushrooms, I will dehydrate and then I'll put them in mason jars. Um, sometimes I'll freeze them as well too to be able to keep those.
