I had two that were prob bigger than that, after they came out of the dehydrator they are the size of a silver dollar now. My smaller ones are the size of a dime!  Should I just cook them in butter and garlic? 10 min?

yeah, but I like to cook them in butter and finish with some dry sherry until it gets thick, almost gone.

Some do, I just cut them in half long ways and used my sprayer in the kitchen sink. Then padded most the water off, sprayed out lots of tiny slugs!!!

Nice one. We have a spot that with good spring weather conditions, puts out many that size. Biggest so far was larger than a softball, tallest was 12"

This year might be the year to try and best our records. Still 2-3 weeks out for us.

Didn’t have sherry but put the dehydrated shrooms in a pan with butter, garlic, medium temp, for about 15 min. Way too crispy, not very good.  Is there such a thing as over dehydrating them??

no, you can’t over dehydrate them.  Abs the only way I dry them out is on a screen in the sun.  You need to rehydrate before cooking.  Soak them then dry or lightly steam them.

No but you should rehydrate them, with water, cream if you’re making a cream sauce, or stock.

Wenatchee Valley, found them in the neighbors flower beds. They had fresh bark brought in last fall. And yes I asked for permission before picking.

Found several at about 2500 feet Saturday but my hot spots at 5000-5600 feet were still partially snow covered! Couldn't believe it. Some other areas I know off of 410 looked great but the ground was very wet so not a whole lot out yet at least in my spots.

Did ok up by Winthrop. Looked around 2200' range, lots of people out. Ended up picking about a gallon in a couple hours once we learned what we were looking for.
