Preparation

Step 1

* Alternate Mushrooms: Boletes, Black Chanterelle, Puffballs, Shaggy Parasol Mushroom

Dry the mushroom slices (see Preserving Mushrooms). When the slices are nearly dry, remove in 2 to 3 batches to baking sheets. Place in a preheated 300 degree oven and toast until golden brown. After the slices have cooled, place a few at a time in a blender or a food processor and blend to a fine powder. Repeat this procedure until all the mushrooms have been pulverized. Add the other ingredients and blend.

Store in a glass container with a tightly closed top.

This recipe yields about 1 cup.
