How to rehydrate

Soak for at least 30 minutes to an hour in enough water or sweet cream to generously cover. Chanterelle mushrooms require at least 8 hours of soaking due to their delicate nature.

If you want to be creative, try adding salt, pepper and/or other seasonings. Or you could add 1-2 tablespoons of Port, Sherry or other wine. Your creativity is a key ingredient!

Keep in mind that a small amount of wild mushrooms goes a long way. 1 lb. of dried mushrooms yield 10 - 15lbs. of reconstituted mushrooms, depending on the variety.
