Drying is one of the best ways to harvest mushrooms for the winter. Drying mushrooms is simple, convenient, affordable and easy. When dried, mushrooms become 10 times lighter, so it is very convenient to store them later and they take up quite a bit of space when dried.

In addition, after drying, the mushrooms acquire new taste and aromatic properties. And in terms of digestibility, dried mushrooms are superior to pickled and salted ones.

To dry the boletus, use only fresh, young and strong mushrooms. Try to recycle boletus as soon as you bring them into the house. Store dried boletus in a tightly sealed, dry container in a cool, dark place.

Before cooking, pour the required portion of dry mushrooms with water at room temperature and let them swell for a while. After that, the mushrooms will cook much faster. Also, dried boletus can be ground in a coffee grinder along with dry herbs and ready-made mushroom powder can be used for cooking.
