Dried Mushrooms

I had an opportunity to get some dried mushrooms- free!!! Marx Foods had a recent promotion on a food Internet blogsite where they offered free samples of dried mushrooms. I actually got them yesterday and the picture is below.

The dried mushroom sample set all listed from left to right:

Top row: Porcini, Dried Lobster

Middle row: Shitake

Third Row: Southwest Mix, Chanterelle

Bottom row: Matsutake, Black Trumpet

Justin Marx from Marx Foods sent this to me in an email. I will use these and seem to be very good reference to have (thanks). "Here are a few links to get the creative juices flowing:

I would like to thank Justin and all at Marx Foods (http://www.marxfoods.com/) for extending me (and others) this offer. It seems like they have other great product. If they want me to test some other stuff (except seafood), I would be glad to do it!!! I actually made something with the shitake mushrooms last night and will post what I did in the next day or so.
