RE: Pickled Wild Mushrooms (Chicken of the Woods)

The texture changes some in the dehydration process but still good. You actually don't even have to dehydrate prior to freezing! I chop, blanch, freeze or boil/dump then freeze. You'd definitely be extending the shelf life by dehydration and freezing tough. When we rehydrate I recommend playing around with different flavored fluids like broths, soy sauce, etc. You can also grind some that is fully dehydrated into a powder to make a broth and use that to rehydrate to really intensify the mushroom flavor. Have fun with it! :-)
