Fortunately, there is a localish mushroom grower. I’ll check with them. Thanks.
My cousin hunts morels here. It is a good area for morels and sang (ginsing)
Do you sell dehydrated forms?

Under the Tennessee Food Freedom act we are only allowed to sell our powdered products inside Tennessee. Any mushrooms we grow that aren’t sold fresh are dried, powdered, bagged and sold as a flavor enhancer. All the culinary mushrooms contain copious amounts of glutamic acid or glutamate. This non-essential amino acid stimulates umami, your 5th sense of taste, enhancing savory, brothy flavors. Great for people who are trying to cut down on salt. However, from a nutrition standpoint it’s REALLY important that the mushrooms be dried below 120F. Above 120F the chemistry changes rapidly. You lose the polysaccharides and essential amino acids if they are dried too hot.
