dry place. Mushrooms that are wet can not be successfully dried. The best are 

 those -which grow and are gathered dry. 



Mushroom powder keeps very well, and it is one of the most delicious flavoring 

 condiments of the kitchen. If milk is used in making meat gravy or other dishes the 

 flavor is much more pronounced. 



The mushrooms may also be dried in the manner described, and used whole by first 

 soaking them before preparing the various dishes; they are practically the same as 

 fresh ones, with the exception of being somewhat tough. The flavor is fully as strong 

 as in fresh ones. (E. F. Pernot, Oregon Agricultural Experiment Station, Bulletin 

 No. 98.)
