hi this is Lisa from rural in the urban and today we're going to be dehydrating some mushrooms I just picked the package up up in a local big-box store I forgot how many ounces is this but it's a large package already started cutting them up mushrooms are excellent like in soup like when I make a beef barley soup it actually the soup actually tastes better when you use the hydrated mushrooms instead of like these fresh mushrooms I don't know what it is it just it gives it a more mushroom a flavor like a stronger mushroom flavor in this soup you can rehydrate these I like one cut them up look one type of mushrooms like one cup of water and use them for like soups saute it rehydrate then saute for like with some steaks and there's other dish which is escaping me right now but I probably remember by the end of the video but all you do is you know buy your mushrooms as you buy them on sale when I can it was all fruit flagger slice them the thickness that you would use in the recipe and here's one tray that I've already done and basically I usually as I worked during the days usually I do my videos at night or on the weekends and I usually dehydrate overnight it's been so hot lately that I haven't been dehydrating because I don't have a station or anything set up on my porch and it does heat the house up a little bit especially when it's going all night are all day but basically just grab a mushroom and just slice watch your fingers once again make sure actually thickness that you're going to use it and that's all there is to it and what I do is throw them on the mat and you want them one even layer because this is a doable product that you can get into a layer okay so what I would do pop them in the dehydrator overnight add my seed from deuteron overnight and it's early like 115 you want them done quicker you can probably do it like 120 125 but um they're gonna be in there for a while so I just do it at 115 okay and I will show you what the end product looks like tomorrow morning and it's the next morning and this is what the dehydrated mushrooms look like you know if you can hear the crunch they're full of dehydrated you need break up and what I'll probably end up doing is putting these in mason jars it's usually how I store the mushrooms and use them for soups and stews and whatnot thanks for watching the video
