My food co-op sells dried mushrooms and I can also buy them in my local
supermarket in small amounts. I don't use them very often (it just
doesn't occur to me ‹ childhood habit, we used the dried ones only for
machanka at Christmas). Whatever the price I paid for the Italian
porcini three years ago seemed like a bargain so I bought a couple 100g
packages. I still have one bag ‹ and I still have a couple small
packets from Cousin Michal. :-) The porcinis, btw, are beautiful.
