This is an extra jar of the Italian Dream. It will be exactly the same as the others you have ordered. Thank you for your business.

You simply put them in water for about 20 minutes. They will rehydrate and look and taste just like they were fresh picked from the ground. Note that we sell the porcini sliced for better dehydration and rehydration. In most dishes they are sliced before use. We've done that for you.

Yes they taste exactly the same! The porcini flavor is actually said to intensify when dried. The only thing removed during drying is water, so no flavor is removed.

You get 5 pounds as picked, the jar is 80 ounces in volume. We have prepared these, and the dream jar easily contains 8-10 servings, probably more. 5 Pounds is generally considered to be a very large amount of porcini as you can imagine.

Yes it definitely is. These are a delicacy and can actually command much more than this depending on the season and availability. These are wild, American, hand picked mushrooms and they are very rare. Anything that is rare is expensive. We save money by buying them in bulk. By buying from us you are buying from a very reputable company with over 200,000 Facebook fans. You know they are picked in America in 2021 and they are of high quality, and you are buying from a family owned company that is here to help you 24/7. One of our owners, Adam Schultz, is also certified as a Wild Mushroom Expert so you know the porcini are pure and of a high quality. Finally, our facility is licensed by the State of Michigan. If you buy elsewhere you don't have that assurance. On top of that, we comparison shopped and our prices are right in line with, or lower than, what you would find from other source.

Porcini with water in them are a very perishable item. They only last about 7 days, so they have to be processed and shipped quickly, which is very expensive (time is money). If you remove the water then the porcini can keep up to 36 months. They can also then be shipped using standard methods. The end result is that a pound of fresh porcini delivered is at least $50.00, you get 5 pounds for that much when they are dried.

Yes! Porcini are one of the most commonly dried mushrooms because they rehydrate so well. Dried porcini are eaten all year round, while fresh porcini are only available in season. Most recipes will call for dried porcini.

Absolutely! Nothing is better for you or the environment then a product harvested in the wild. This is an unprocessed, unaltered, natural product that comes right from the forest into your home. Our owner, Adam Schultz, is a certified Wild Mushroom Expert (see images) so you know that when you buy from us you get safe mushrooms that are 100% porcini. Our facility is also licensed so you know we follow clean health standards and your mushrooms are processed and packaged in a safe and clean way.

We have verified that all of our dried porcini were wild picked in AMERICA in the fall of 2020!

No, Never. We try very hard to keep our prices as low as possible. Therefore we always offer our lowest price on the website and you don't have to go searching the internet for discount codes AND everyone gets the same price. We personally feel this is the fairest way to run a retail store.
