Wild Mushrooms

I’m constantly coming across wild mushrooms while I’m hiking and they always make me crave fresh mushrooms in my sauce or gravy that night. But I’m not the kind of person that really knows their mushrooms so the chances that I’d choose a poisonous one are pretty high!

So, I went looking for a freeze-dried source…and I found one! These mushrooms come in a medium size slice – not too big and not little kibbled pieces. About the size of a thumb nail (depending on the size of your hands, of course), so they’re great in all kinds of dishes. So far, they’ve made it into a mushroom gravy, on a pizza and rolled up ‘raw’ into a wrap and they’ve been delicious every time! They’re surprisingly good ‘raw’ – not crunchy at all and the taste and texture is just like a fresh mushroom.

I’m going to start carrying a packet of mushrooms with me on my hikes from now on – I’m sure they’ll be eaten in no time!
