Oyster Mushrooms, Dried
£5.94
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?

Black Trumpet Mushrooms, Dried
Also known as the black chanterelle, horn of plenty, black trumpet, and trumpet de la mort or “trumpet of the dead” based on the imagery that buried corpses are playing these fungal horns from beneath the ground. The outside can be rather waxy and black, but the inner part of the horn is usually velvety and charcoal grey. It’s a rather morbid looking specimen with an aroma of air-cured beef. The flavor is highly prized and tastes of an overripe washed rind cheese or a black truffle. The texture is close to that of a soft piece of dry mozzarella when reconstituted.
These little lolitas are best cooked up in risottos, ragus, or minced with a bit of pork and shallot and stuffed into ravioli. In addition, black trumpet mushrooms are also excellent served with fresh gnocchi and dressed in gremolata.
Bolete Mushrooms (European), Dried
An edible mushroom that originated in Western Europe and then spread out through Eastern Europe and South America. They grow under the dark and damp shade of conifer and hardwood forests where they bulk up their fat bottoms and spongy caps (which are porous instead of having gills like most mushrooms). The bolete grows chubby and large; so much so it is often considered the King of the Mushrooms. In fact, some boletes can grow to be 18 inches tall and more than a foot in diameter.
The taste of an edible bolete mushroom is hit or miss. Dried, the bolete reeks of dark soy sauce and Chinese black vinegar. When reconstituted the flavor is far more mellow with a slight fermented hint. This European mushroom is popular served with a runny egg, tucked into pasta dishes, and stirred into risotto. A more modern twist is to grind them into powder in a food processor, mix it with salt and black pepper, and use the mixture as a rub for beef.
Morel Mushrooms, Dried
Mushroom hunters search high and low for true Morels, and a lucky few have secret spots where they know a bounty will grow every year. Try asking any hunter where their spot is and you’ll be greeted with silence. No mushroom hunter will ever give up dried morel mushrooms.
It’s understandable. Dried morel mushrooms have a delicate flavor that only lingers around for a short while. It’s gone the moment you swallow.
Chewing is another matter. The flavor is mighty when chewing. It’s a mushroom that’s truly worth the hunt. However, some home gardeners get lucky. It’s not unheard of to buy woodchips for a garden and then after a rain find little armies of Morels springing up.
These dried morel mushrooms are great for our sautéed morel mushroom recipe. You can add a bit of salt and cracked pepper for a classic preparation or toss with pasta and serve in a cream sauce with generous shavings of Parmesan.
Nameko Mushrooms, Dried
Due to a gelatinous coating (it’s that light lacquer you see on its dried form), these whole Nameko mushroom has numerous unique uses. Often the mushroom’s broth is added to stocks or soups such as Miso, to not only add a savory, nutty, buttery, even scotch-like flavor; but to thicken it as well. The mushrooms themselves can add their own body and flavor.
Next time you need to make a sauce for your stir-fry avoid using cornstarch. Instead, try adding a pinch of flour and some of the hydrating broth from some Nameko mushrooms. You’ll quickly find it works quite well and the dehydrated forest Nameko lend a pleasant bite and taste.
Porcini Mushrooms, Cepes (Grade B)
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.
Porcini Mushrooms, Dried (Grade AA)
The Grade AA Porcini is one that has the perfect size. The Grade AA Porcini is one that has no worm holes. The Grade AA Porcini is one with an ivory interior and milk chocolate exterior. The Grade AA Porcini is one that produces a dark, fragrant broth whose aroma permeates the room.
This is a Porcini that should not be hidden in soups or stews. Dried porcini mushrooms should be sautéed or grilled with a touch of garlic and ginger. It should adorn a steak and be slathered in melted herb butter. It should be the highlight of a salad; the ingredient that everyone eats first before addressing anything green on the plate.
Behold! Grade AA Porcinis. Ruler of the Mushroom Kingdom.
Shiitake Mushroom Caps (Flower Top)
Dearest culinary enthusiast,
We know that for you food isn’t just about sustenance. It’s about art, presentation, and personal aesthetics. Like Spice Jungle, the flower top shiitake cap mushroom understands this.

The flower top shiitake wishes to bob in your soup and enthrall the date you’re trying to impress.
And you will impress. The flower top shiitake knows this. Of course, so do you.
All the best.
Love,
Spice Jungle
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.
