Earthy Delights Dried Mushroom Sampler, 6 Varieties, Chanterelles, Porcini, Black Trumpet, Oyster, Shiitake, 1-Ounce Bags, Wild Morels 1/2-Ounce Bag

I haven't yet tried the morels which are of course the gems of the litter, but of the three other varieties I've tried, these are great! An ounce is quite a lot actually...I'm going to get 2-3 uses out of each bag.I've never rehydrated mushrooms before but it's pretty easy and has some great benefits. While the texture isn't the same as cooking with fresh mushrooms it lets you have all these varieties any time of the year and the "liquor" that you get from the water they rehydrate in is flavorful and great for using in sauces (sometimes the same recipe as the mushrooms).One caveat though - I had looked up instructions online and then compared them with the labels. I followed the instructions on the labels at first but found one important thing that the internet had suggested - you really do need to carefully wash these and strain the liquor if you're going to use it. That's because there IS sand and grit on a few of the mushrooms. (Overall they seem fairly clean, but I bit into a few grains of sand the first few times I used them because of skipping this step)Anyway, this is a FANTASTIC price and a great way to try these varieties if you never have since most aren't available in a lot of grocery stores. My palate is inexperienced in most of these varieties but they seem good to me...nice big mushrooms that rehydrate well and are full of flavor.Finally, I did separately order a variety of other products from Earthy direct from their website. They have a lot of stuff there (sauces, spices, gourmet treats) and their other products are fantastic thus far as well. Watch prices though...although it's nice to get all your little treats in one place, some items really are cheaper here on Amazon.Customer service from Earthy is great as well...I would assume they'd treat Amazon orders as well as they treat their direct traffic. I had an issue (my fault) with an order from their website and they were incredibly helpful fixing it.

These were priced right so to be frank, my expectations were a bit low. Boy was I pleasantly surprised when a delightfully packed box (appropriate for gift giving) was delivered with six different varieties of dried mushrooms, presentation stuffing, recipe ideas etc...the overall effect is quite nice and makes a wonderful gift idea.The first we tried were the morels - although you can certainly find much more expensive ones, I was very pleasantly surprised how good these were especially given the price of the entire box. Frankly, they tasted much better than expected. Next were the shiitake which are one of my favorite mushrooms and I tend to be very picky about them...most of the time I purchase them fresh but always keep some dried on hand for those "cooking emergencies" (I use a lot of shrooms when cooking). In fact, I had just ordered a pound of dried shiitake from another vendor...these were FAR surperior (unfortunately, I'm stuck with a pound of not so good ones...USA organic made at that!). Each has been equally pleasant and far in excess of my (admittedly modest) expectations. Frankly, these would easily pass for double the cost I paid...in fact, I liked this set so much, I hesitated to give it such a good rating because I was afraid they would jump the price up!As soon as I work through my present selection from the other inferior company, I intend to purchase more dried and fresh mushrooms from this Earthy. VERY impressed!

Each variety separately packed. Nice amount in each. Great

Excellent mushrooms! A little goes a long way with these! The packing was VERY careful and the product looks great. This came earlier than anticipated, so the nearly $10.00 shipping fee is probably not pure profit.I can't wait to use these. Mushrooms have tremendous healing powers along with youth enhancing copper. If you do not know about mushrooms yet, look at mycologist Paul Stamens videos for the TED programs on Netflix or YouTube.

There were to be 6 dried samples of different types of mushrooms, but instead of the Melange de la Foret shown in the ad, which was wanted, there was a bag of Oyster mushrooms, which wasn't. No communication from Amazon or Earthy Delights saying there was a substitution - even the shipment list was correct for what was ordered and advertised. Wonder how careful these folks are about other things....

Morel mushroom package contains only half of what the product description claims with 0.5 ounces; moreover, the Melange de La Foret mushrooms are not included and replaced with cheaper Oyster mushrooms. NOT worth the money considering these factors, in my opinion.

Great for the "gourmet " home chef, who's always trying to impress!

I used to get dried mushrooms from Costco, I thought they were the best until I tried these. Costco no longer sells them so I had to try something new, and I was not dissapointed at all! I am so glad Costco doesnt carry them anymore, otherwise I would not have tried these. They are terrific!
