Dried Wild Matsutake Mushrooms

Matsutake, the pine mushroom, is one of the most prized wild mushrooms in the world, found in fall under mature conifers. Drying holds onto its signature aroma: spicy, piney and clean, with a savory depth that carries through any broth.

Rehydrate in warm water for 20 to 30 minutes, then slice into dashi, clear soups, rice, hot pot or a quick sauté with butter and a splash of soy. Keep the soaking liquid. It makes a fragrant stock on its own.

Tricholoma spp., wild harvested and dried. Sold by the ounce.
