Now the forests are bursting with mushrooms. You won’t have time for everything, and you don’t have to enjoy it right away, but some should be preserved for the winter.
Funnel waffles can be frozen, dried, pickled. It’s always delicious. Mari Moilanen
Here are four classic ways to preserve different mushrooms.
1. Drying
Drying in a dehydrator, oven or even in a sauna is suitable for example for tater tots, black horn mushrooms, funnel waffles and chicory roses.
2. Freezing
Mushrooms that have been fried in a dry pan to remove the liquid can be put in the freezer.
Mushrooms that are suitable for freezing include oracles, tatties, chicory mushrooms, haperos and chanterelles. You can also freeze the rouskus for later use after pre-treatment, i.e. cooking.
3. Salting
Spicy mushrooms, such as roskus and hagros, are best suited as salted mushrooms.
4. Pickling
You can dip small, firm and young mushrooms in the pickling broth, such as chanterelles, chanterelles and light thistles.
