Merchant GourmetDried Mixed Mushrooms
Merchant Gourmet Dried Mixed Mushrooms is a carefully selected blend of oyster, shiitake, and porcini mushrooms, offering a deep, savoury flavour that develops even further when rehydrated. Drying intensifies their natural richness, creating a concentrated umami taste that adds depth to a wide range of dishes.
Once soaked, the mushrooms regain a tender texture while retaining their distinctive character, making them a versatile ingredient for both everyday meals and more considered recipes. The soaking liquid itself can also be used to enrich sauces and broths, bringing even more flavour to your cooking.
Ideal for adding complexity without the need for fresh ingredients, this dried mushroom mix is a reliable way to introduce earthy, well-rounded flavour into everything from simple pasta dishes to slow-cooked favourites.

Can the soaking water from dried mushrooms be used in cooking?
Yes, the soaking liquid is full of flavour and works well as a base for stocks, sauces, or risottos after straining to remove any grit.
How long can dried mushrooms be stored once opened?
They can be kept for an extended period if stored in a sealed container in a cool, dry place, making them a practical cupboard ingredient.
Do different mushrooms in the mix cook at the same rate?
After soaking, most dried mushrooms soften evenly, though larger pieces may take slightly longer to fully rehydrate and should be checked before use.
