Mushroom House Dried Oyster Mushrooms, 2 Oz

This was my first try of oyster mushrooms. Upon opening the bag, I found they have a pungent odor at first a little off putting. It's apparently supposed to smell like that. They are a strong woody flavor plus something else I cannot describe. The texture is is squishy like rehydrated mushroom, which I love. The bag is really chock full of mushrooms and I'm hoping it's not a lot of stems because those are inedible as I have just learned. The stems are very fibrous and no amount of soaking will make them easy to chew.I cooked all the moisture out of them after soak, with garlic, shallots and salt I didn't want to over power the flavor. These absorb flavors nicely. Oddly, they are described as tasting a bit like oyster but I didn't think so. Maybe if they are fresh they do.Overall, I'm sold. A new fan of oyster mushrooms. Delicious!

This is just like describe. I soak it from less than an hour in warm water than I prepared it to my likings. We recommend. Please cut the end from each piece as its hard to chew and has a off taste.

They are very “chewy” (rubbery) after rehydrating so I’m not enjoying them like I thought I would.

You can soak it for days and it will still be tough. I'm still enjoying using it because I grind it up and cook it a lot and make soup with it.

Excellent product at a great price.

DELICIOUS AND TENDER AFTER SOAKING

These are beautiful & delicious 😋.!!! Perfect for soups & sautéed in herb butter. It’s nice to have these on hand also. 👍🏽😃

First off I'm glad they didn't kill me or make me sick second of all they taste exactly like what they eat dead rotting wood so if you're into that sort of thing go for it how I was able to Needham was putting in the other stuff if you're cooking on the stove they're right you need to soak them bring it do come again I do then cooking don't eat any of them raw some of them are all so tough do you like cooking for a little bit I doubt I'll be buying them again it wasn't what I thought it would be that's all
