I recently bought a package of dried porcini mushrooms at Trader Joe's. (In a
square- shaped clear plastic container). They recommend putting in water only
60 seconds, and then squeezing them dry. They taste very good, but have sort
of an icky chewy quality. Fine when mixed with other mushrooms, or onions, or
in a soup or mixed in with wild rice/regular rice mixture. Ummm!
