Mushrooms are among the easiest vegetables to dry because they don't need blanching.

Step by step

  1. Clean and slice evenly.
  2. Optional dip: Alabama Extension suggests 1 teaspoon citric acid per quart of water for 10 minutes.
  3. Dry at 115 to 130°F until dry and leathery, per Alabama Extension.
  4. Store airtight.

Pack dried food airtight once it's cool and conditioned. Our sister site explains vacuum sealing dried food and vacuum sealing mason jars.
