Best Types of Mushrooms to Dry

Using An Oven

Drying mushrooms in the oven is a great option if you don’t have a dehydrator! Full Recipe

Prep the mushrooms by washing, removing the stem, and blotting dry. Full Recipe

Arrange the diced/sliced mushrooms in a single layer on a parchment lined baking sheet or line your cookie sheet with a jerky mat to elevate it and allow for a bit more airflow. Full Recipe

Place the mushrooms in the oven at the temperature outlined in the article for around three hours or until fully dry. Size and thickness of the peppers that you are dehydrating. Full Recipe

Air Fryer

Drying mushrooms in an air fryer is a great option, especially for smaller amounts. This process takes considerably less time than using a dehydrator because of the circulating air. Full Recipe

Thoroughly wash your mushrooms, blot dry, and remove the stems.

Arrange the mushrooms in a single layer in your air fryer basket. I use jerky mats for SO many things in the kitchen including anytime I am dehydrating small pieces of produce in my air fryer. Full Recipe

Set your air fryer to the dehydrate setting OR as close to 135°F as possible. Air fry the mushrooms for the time specified, checking for doneness after 2 hours.

Mushrooms are done in the drying when the pieces have a hard, crisp texture after being cooled for 10 minutes. Dry mushroom slices and pieces will break when folded, and there will be no signs of moisture when twisted or torn.

I love to store my dried mushrooms in mason jars or other glass jars- they are always handy and look beautiful in my pantry or on my cold room shelves. Alternately, you can vacuum seal them or keep them in a zippered bag with the air squeezed out! Learn more

This is up to personal preference! In fresh cooking, I always remove the stems- so I follow suit with the dehydrator. If you plan to include the mushroom stems on your dehydrating trays, be sure to remove any woody bits.
