Bamboo Mushrooms (Phallus indusiatus) 3oz Dehydrated Mushrooms

Bamboo mushrooms (also commonly called “veiled lady mushrooms”) are long, thin, off-white mushrooms with a rich, earthy flavor and a delicate, porous texture. They are most easily distinguished by their long, lacy “skirts” or “veils.”

• 7 to 8 inches long, with veils largely intact
• Rich, earthy flavor
• Very popular in Asian cuisine
• Sautéed bamboo mushrooms are an excellent compliment to steaks and poultry, or chopped up and added to casseroles, sauces and stuffing's
• Stalks are typically hollow and, once rehydrated, can be stuffed with a forcemeat or long, thin slices of meat or vegetables
• Stir-fry in sesame oil for a delicious addition to meats, rice and tofu
• Often used in Asian cuisines to add flavor to chicken soup
• Good source of protein and dietary fiber, and typically contain high levels of trace minerals such as potassium, sodium and iron

Rinse mushrooms under cold running water to remove any possible debris. To rehydrate prior to use, place desired amount in a bowl and cover with boiling water. Soak until tender, usually 20 to 30 minutes. Drain and rinse, or rinse and add directly to recipes that will cook for at least 25 minutes.
