Drying some Jelly ear

 

January has always been a good month for me for Jelly ear fungi, and I found a great crop recently, I had some for lunch but wanted to keep a few for future use

Some lovely fresh jelly ear

I brought home about 1lb of the mushroom and had about 4 ounces for my lunch and the rest went in the dehydrator

end result was 2 1/2 ounces of dried mushroom, I think I'm gonna need a lot more if I want to make a game and wild mushroom stew when we head out sometime
