Porcini Mushrooms, Cepes (Grade B)
£6.16
Husky, musty, earthy, with a potent mushroom flavor that doesn’t crack the volume on the boom box but keeps it at a moderate level. We lovingly call the Cepes mushroom the Broth Porcini. It’s a mushroom that you reconstitute in hot water by the boatload. We love to dragoon this mushroom broth into a strong, meaty stock by simmering it down with a bit of green onion. This rich mushroom stock can then be added to soups, sauces, or used to make elegant risottos.
Of course, the mushrooms themselves are just are hardy as the broth. After a good rinse under running water to expel any grit chop them up and add them to a Crockpot with some potatoes, carrots, and a round roast. Another dinner option is to pop them into a beef bourguignon for an ethereal take on a classic dish. Tuna noodle casserole with Porcini? Yes, please.

Blazei Brazilian Cap Mushrooms, Dried
It’s not often you find a mushroom this unique. One that stands out amongst a room of savory shrooms and says, “Hey, I’m special. I demand more attention and you are going to give it to me.” And, so, we shall. Not because we have to, but because it deserves it.
The Blazei Brazilian cap mushroom is not one to be disregarded. In fact, it’s one that shockingly hasn’t been more widely adopted by chefs and restaurants. The Blazei is a trend-in-waiting, the undiscovered star, and a hip new ingredient waiting to happen. This is due to its almond-like flavor. The smell of these dehydrated mushrooms is all must and neglected attics. The flavor is slightly salty and similar to that of a raw almond both at the start and the finish. The Blazei Brazilian cap mushroom is an ideal addition to lighter soups, salads, or perhaps to serve with wild duck or pheasant.
Lobster Mushrooms, Dried
It isn’t really hard to guess why the lobster mushroom is so named. This parasitic fungus (it’s not technically a mushroom) grows on other mushrooms and eventually colonizes them with a meaty, red flesh that takes on the appearance of cooked lobster meat. In the process the zombified mushroom host gains both a striking appearance and delightful flavor.
The aroma when dried lobster mushroom reconstitutes, strangely, is a little aquatic and somewhat reminiscent of shellfish. The flavor makes the name even more appropriate as there are faint hints of lobster and certainly a taste of clam amongst its otherwise simple mushroom flavor. Use it in place of nearly any mushroom in a recipe. This cooking lobster mushroom for sale is a perfect addition to casseroles or plates of mac and cheese.
Oyster Mushrooms, Dried
Growing in colonies on mushroom bags or rotting wood in the forest, Oyster mushrooms are a popular edible mushroom worldwide. They have a mellow taste that’s nothing like an oyster, but perhaps that of mellow morning air on a cold winter day with a hint of chicken.* It’s odd, but accurate. Trust us.
Looking like little fairy stepping stools, these dried oyster mushrooms for sale are prolific and work in any recipe that calls for mushrooms. In addition, due to their flatness they cook up uniformly. Easiest way to cook these guys? A simple sauté in oil and herbs with a splash of sherry and cream. Yes, yes, yes.
Fun Fact: This particular fungus is actually carnivorous and eats nematodes by trapping them in little glue traps. Perhaps that organic diet of little nematodes is what makes them so darn tasty?
Porcini Mushrooms, Dried (Grade A)
A Grade A Porcini is technically one of the middle grades. It’s the B-student. That’s fine. It doesn’t have the flavor that higher grades possess and it needs a bit more cleaning. However, it still packs a punch.
What that means is this mushroom can go anywhere. You can have your Porcini and not break the bank. Scrambled eggs? Add some Grade A dried porcini mushrooms! Want to make a quick ragu? Add some Grade A Porcini! Want to test a new recipe? Add some Grade A Porcini! You don’t have to be stickler with these guys, but you’ll still get the same unique texture and earthy flavor.
Portabella Mushrooms, Dried
Only about 20 years ago the Portabella mushroom was barely known to Americans. It was a throwaway food for lower income homes and hippy-dippy vegans that the populous-at-large had no interest in. Then, like the ox tail before it, restaurateurs and chefs rediscovered that this cheap ingredient had a lot of flavor and the potential for ethereally meaty (and vegan-friendly, as it was the 90’s) dishes with a high profit margin were too good to ignore.
Now a cheap Portabella is hard to find. Unless, of course, you go dried. The large cap mushroom actually contains more flavor in its dried form, and reconstituted it keeps its meaty texture and flavor. The broth is equally excellent for cooking wild rice or using in soups.
Reishi Mushrooms, Dried
This bitter-tasting mushroom is rumored to have numerous healing properties. It’s long been thought to fight viral infections, reduce stress, and induce sleep. One recent study even showed even demonstrated that it was able to help reverse chemical-driven liver damage.
This dried reishi mushroom has a bitter taste and for this reason, is often brewed with other mushrooms so as to cover it up. Other recipes insist on adding lemon, honey, ginger, or even a small bit of bacon fat to help make it more palatable.
Another, more palatable option? Simply blitz the Lingzhi mushroom into a powder and add it to smoothies as a superfood supplement.
Wood Ear Mushrooms, Shredded
These shredded Wood Ear mushrooms look like destroyed confidential files from a government office rather than food. Perhaps under all that black you might find some undisclosed secret kept hidden from the public.
But no, these are mushrooms. Hydrated, these delicate strings of finely sliced Wood Ear mushroom become brown and crunchy with a forest-y flavor.
Many chefs have begun to treat shredded Wood Ear like a pasta as instead of a mushroom. Add them to cold soba dishes, or tangle together with fettuccini and slather in an alfredo sauce for an East-meets-West dish. We like to add them into a chicken soup for their antiviral properties. Curious in texture, intriguing in flavor, and with a contemporary appearance this mushroom is perfect for the hip home cook.
