How to properly store dried mushrooms at home.

Store dried mushrooms in any way, in the sun, in an oven or in an electric dryer, in paper flour bags or in linen or canvas bags.

Keep the mushrooms in a dry but ventilated place - this way they will not get damp.

Also, make sure that near dried mushrooms there are no products with strong odors that the mushrooms can absorb. This especially applies to mushroom powder - store it in jars with ground-in lids.

Place both the mushrooms and the powder in a dark place - they may darken from light.

Often, if stored improperly, mushrooms lose their fragility. If you notice that the workpiece has become a little wet, then do so. First of all, sort through the mushrooms and throw away any spoiled ones. For others, place in a slightly heated oven and dry. Prepare dry, sterile jars and, while the mushrooms are still fragile, fill the container with them. Lubricate the sealing lids on the inside with alcohol and set it on fire. While the alcohol is burning, cover the jars and seal them. Burning alcohol will allow all the oxygen in the jars to burn out and the mushrooms, even if they are not completely dried, will not become moldy in the future.

Before use, be sure to clean dried mushrooms with a small brush to remove sand particles. Next, fill them with water or milk (you can also use a mixture of both) and soak until completely swollen.The water in which the mushrooms were soaked can be used for broths. You cannot use only the liquid from dried morels, as they are considered conditionally edible mushrooms.
