I got a food dehydrator and it occured to me that I could dry mushrooms
to
have on hand to go along with the dried tomatoes for making spaghetti
sauce.

I'm sure to most of you it may seem silly to dry mushrooms when you can
just
dash off to the store to get some. It's an hour's round trip for me to
go
to the store though so I'd love to have some dried mushrooms on hand.

Kathy I use dried mushrooms all the time mostly for pork & sauerkraut dishes
that I make. I had a friend that went to Poland on a regular basis & he
would buy a kilo of dried mushrooms for $20-$30. In Chicago they sell for
$100-$150 a pound depending on the season. A kilo =2.2 pounds, quite a
bargain
