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.
Are there any types of mushrooms that I should avoid for dehydrating? Is
there anything in particular I need to do to dehydrate mushrooms? I was
thinking about dehydrating portobellos since we like them best in
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.

I dry 'shrooms all the time. There is a Monterey Mushroom plant (farm?) in
Loudon Tn that sells them for about a dollar a pound. I brought home about
ten pounds last Friday and have the dehydrator going right now.

grind them up and add them to gravey for a nice richness.
