I put them on screens infront of a big industrial fan. This is porcini drying out from a few weeks ago. After this I have them in a big box on racks with a dehydrator running inside it to remove the last bit of moisture.

Certain mushrooms rehydrated after drying better than others. But I’m not a huge fan of the texture of rehydrated mushrooms most of the time. I usually use them to give flavour to a broth and discard at the end. Or, blended into soups so that the rubbery texture is not noticeable. Usually combined with some store bought fresh mushrooms as well if it’s a mushroom soup. Mostly because the wild mushrooms have such a strong flavour that when you use only wild mushrooms I find it is too overpowering, I use some store bought mushrooms to mellow out the flavour a bit.
