I never use up a complete package of mushrooms before they start going bad, so I take the leftover mushrooms and stems and dry them powder dry. Then I grind them in the coffee grinder/spice grinder.

It's great in soups and sauces.

I’m thinking cream of mushroom soup with added pizazz now.

And rice+veg too. And sprinkled on top of crockpot roasts while they’re cooking.

There’s a reason I’m fat. I think about food. A lot.

Hubby gets the clearance mushrooms. Sometimes 5 or 6 packs at a time. I’ll have 3 or 4 dryer shelves from that.

I’m growing ginger this summer. I’ll probably dehydrate some of that for powder to use when the fresh isn’t so fresh anymore.

I also have a pot of turmeric. Hubby bought some fresh turmeric at the Asian market and I just planted it about 2” deep and kept it watered. It’s actually an attractive plant. Ditto the ginger. Both like shade so I have a perfect spot for their containers under a big oak in my backyard. I guess I’ll dry turmeric too if I get any.

Daum !! I never thought of that- drying the excess mushrooms for later use.
I always get all panicky and saute mushrooms just becasue I dont want them to go to waste !
Brilliant !
