AFAIK, nobody sells it. :-)
I buy whole dried Shitakes from the Thai store and powder them in my
food processer or blender, then put it into a used shaker jar that I
saved from another powdered item...

I really like it and have found far more successful uses for them
powdered than whole! I've just had too much trouble reconstituting the
whole ones.

Give it a shot. :-)

I buy 16 oz. bags of them from the Thai store for about $8.00 in a
cellophane bag.
