I’m pretty sure dried mushrooms are safe.......haven’t heard of anyone being sickened by them.

Soaking them in sherry sounds positively deelish.

You can buy dried mushroom powder here:

I prefer to grind my own from dried porcinis. I have been using powdered for years with no ill effects.

It says on the package of dried that they must be heated in stock/sherry/water to a certain degree. Mushrooms are delicious but a pain in the ass, sometimes!
