Golden Swan Dried Shiitake Mushrooms, 1 kg

These are very good large mushrooms with a great smoky taste, and good value given the quality. They do need reconstituting well because of the size - I add them to a pan of boiling water, bring back to the boil, stir and cover for at least half an hour.

Great value for money taste awesome! I will buy again.

They seem really good. I've only used them once and didn't soak as long as recommended on line (8 hours), so will do that next time. Subsequent googling advised removing stalks from Shiitake mushrooms, well these have been removed already. The poster on the internet also warned against buying packs where there are a few big mushrooms at the top and small dusty ones at the bottom. As the picture shown by Golden Swan displays, the mushrooms are massive throughout the whole pack. The only warning I would give is be aware that a kilo of dried mushrooms takes up the size of a small pillow in your storage space.

Like others have said, this is a huge pack and lasts for a long time! The dried mushrooms are a good size overall, you do get some bigger and some small ones, as one would expect. I can't really complain about that, sometimes you wants small mushrooms, sometimes you want bigger ones. All you need to do is soak them (chopped or whole) in hot water for about 30min and you're good to go! Small tip, don't waste the leftover water, it's great Mushroom stock! This actually works better for making mushroom stock than using fresh mushrooms! I see the price has increased quite a lot! I originally bought this for 20£, a lot better value for money.

Good quality

Amazing value for money, they rehydrate to a good size. Good taste and texture. They should soak at least over night. You're not going to be using all of it, so be sure to find some method to re-seal these. Personally, I took out a couple handfuls and put them in a kilner jar and the rest I re-sealed into pockets using a vacuum sealer. Also, as others have noted, this package as it comes, is huge. About the size of a pillow. Another reason to re-seal into smaller portions.

A very large bag which is going to last a long time. Good quality and some of the mushrooms are quite large. Didn't need to soak them too long and they were ready to use. Good flavour too. Very happy with the product and was going to order another bag straight away but the price has increased a lot so will now wait till I finish the bag.

Lovely size ans appearance testing them later today
