Default how long do dried chiles last?

Maybe this is silly, but in re-arranging my pantry I find dried
chipotles, other dried chiles, and sun-dried tomatoes. They are old I
know, but they look--please don't laugh--lifeless. The dried
mushrooms, that may or may not be as old, still look good. Is there an
expiration date? I hate to through them out if they can still be used,
I'm sure I paid a fortune for them at some specialty store. Any ideas
would be appreciated.

thanks, Bliss
