Dried Cordyceps - 1 oz

Dried mushrooms can be reconstituted in any kind of warm liquid (wine, broth, cream, ect.) for 15 - 20 minutes, and then used in any application in which fresh mushrooms are called for. Try them as a base for soups and sauces, combine with eggs in a scramble or omelet, cook into a risotto, or toss with pasta.
Dried Morels - 1 oz
$16.00
Perhaps the best known, most anticipated, and most nostalgic of all North American wild mushrooms. The elusive and legendary morel is the particular darling of Midwesterners, though they grow throughout the country from Washington State to Florida. Nothing compares to their steak-like flavor -- there really is no substitute. Their springtime season is brief and attended with cult-like reverence, but thankfully these rich, smoky dried morels manage to preserve the mighty morel mushroom all year long.

Dried Wood Ear - 1 oz
$14.00
Woodear mushrooms are a classic in Asian dishes like hot and sour soup, and Szechwan and Hunan cuisine. They add a chewy, crunchy texture, and rich, jet black color to stir fries and sautees. They are a natural source of iron, protein and fiber, providing almost half the recommended daily fiber intake for adults. Wood Ear mushrooms are also a good source of vitamins B1 and B2.

Dried Lion's Mane - 1 oz
$12.00
One of the medicinal mushroom powerhouses, Lions Mane looks way too cute to be as healthy as it is. Many people mistake it for cauliflower, as it grows in fuzzy, fractal white puff balls. They almost look like they could scurry away as they grow. But don’t be fooled. Lion’s mane mushrooms contain bioactive substances that have beneficial effects on the body, especially the brain, heart and gut. Research is being conducted into their possible effectiveness against dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, neurological disorders, and even depression and anxiety.
Instructions for Brewing:
¼ Cup of dried lions mane
8 - 12 cups of water
Stir into a crockpot or medium sized sauce pot. In crock pot, simmer on low setting for at least 2 hours, or ideally overnight, adding more water as needed. In sauce pot, simmer on low heat on a back burner of the stove for a minimum of 2 hours. For best results, cook up to 4 hours. Strain out mushroom solids and discard (or may be used to reinfuse once more for weaker results), then store tea in glass jar(s) in refrigerator up to 1 week. Can be frozen up to 6 months. For best results, drink 1 chilled pint per day.
Dried Candy Cap Mushrooms - 1/8 oz
$7.00
Candy Caps, a member of the Milk Cap family, have a unique maple aroma when they are dried. Just a few dry Candy Caps, left out in the kitchen, will make the room smell like maple syrup. Dried Candy Caps are a beautiful addition to pancakes, waffles, cookies, flan, ice cream, and cheesecake. They pair particularly well with pecans and other nuts. Once you start experimenting with this unique, unmistakable flavor, you’ll want to put it into everything. We suggest pumpkin pie.

Dried Turkey Tail - 1 oz
$12.00
Turkey tail (Trametes versicolor) is a polypore mushroom, commonly found wild throughout the world. Long used in indigenous North American medicine, it is quickly gaining popularity in the realm of mainstream medicine for its use in reversing tumor growth. Though clinical trials remain inconclusive, strong evidence suggests its benefits in combination with chemotherapy regimens to treat breast, liver, and colorectal cancers.
