Drying & Storage

When it comes to preserving mushrooms, selecting the right tools for drying and long-term storage is essential. Our product category offers a range of solutions including dehydrators, storage
containers, and desiccant packs to ensure your mushrooms are perfectly dried and stored for future use.

Dehydrators are the most efficient way to dry mushrooms, offering controlled temperatures to avoid losing flavor or nutritional value. Using a food dehydrator can dry shrooms in as little as 8-10 hours depending on the variety, leaving them "cracker dry" and ready for storage. Low temperatures around 135°F to 150°F are ideal for preserving the potency and texture of mushrooms like porcini, chanterelles, and shiitake. For larger mushrooms, slicing them before dehydration can help speed up the process and ensure even drying.

Once dried, it's critical to store mushrooms in airtight containers to protect them from moisture, which can lead to mold or spoilage. Glass jars with tight lids or vacuum-sealed bags are great options for long-term storage, keeping your dried mushrooms fresh for up to 12 months in a cool, dry, and dark environment. To further extend the shelf life of your mushrooms, desiccant packs can be added to your storage containers. These moisture-absorbing packs prevent humidity from building up, keeping your mushrooms dry and safe for future use.

Incorporating these tools into your mushroom preservation routine will allow you to enjoy your harvest throughout the year, ensuring the benefits from the rich flavors of perfectly dried mushrooms.
Whether you're drying for soups, stews, or sauces, having the right equipment is key to maintaining the quality and longevity of your mushrooms.
