Mushroom drying proces

The process of drying mushrooms is a careful procedure aimed at preserving their freshness, taste and nutritional value. Below are the steps that are typically used in this process:

Selection of fresh mushrooms

The first step is to select the appropriate species of mushrooms for drying. The best results are obtained by choosing mushrooms of medium size, ripe but not too dry.

Cleaning

The mushrooms are carefully cleaned to remove any impurities such as soil, needles and vegetation debris. This can be done by gently brushing the mushrooms or washing them under running water.

Preparation for drying

After cleaning, the mushrooms are cut into pieces of equal size, which facilitates even drying. Some species of mushrooms, such as mushrooms and butterbur, can be dried whole.

Drying

There are several methods for drying mushrooms, including:

Natural drying: The mushrooms are placed on drying racks or on clean paper towels and then left to
dry in a warm and dry place, e.g. in the sun, in a convection oven or over a fireplace. This process can take from several days to several weeks, depending on the conditions and species of mushrooms.

Mechanical drying: Mushrooms are dried using special dryers or ovens with a drying function. This
method is faster and more controlled, which allows you to obtain evenly dried mushrooms in a shorter time.

Humidity control

During drying, it is important to regularly check the humidity of the mushrooms. The optimal humidity is around 5-10%. Too much moisture can lead to mold, while too little moisture causes the mushrooms to become too dry and hard.

Storage

Once completely dry, the mushrooms are stored in tight containers or glass jars, protecting them from moisture and light. Under appropriate storage conditions, dried mushrooms can retain their freshness and flavor for a long time.

The drying process of mushrooms preserves the essence of their intense aroma. Carefully selected species undergo this process, so you can enjoy their full flavors for a long time. Dried mushrooms are an excellent base for culinary experiments, providing a unique flavor to dishes from all over the world.
