Any mushroom foragers out there?

3. Drying works well.

I only do morels because I know them, grew up hunting them. I am afraid to step into others until I can find someone who can show me without a doubt what is safe.

I have frozen some raw in a cube of water, they ended up mushy and not great but some of the taste was there. I have cooked them half way and frozen them. That was ok, better than raw frozen. This year I dried a ton of them, put them in a vacuum bag and stuck them in the freezer. I think these might come out best. Texture of the shroom is certainly a part of this so I have no idea if any of this is helpful. I would look at mushroom hunting sites. They have lots of great ideas there.
