Hedgehog mushrooms can be found nestling in
grass and moss beneath tree, instead of gills or
pores on the underside of their caps, they have
short, vertically hanging spines or teeth. Dried
hedgehog mushroom has strong characteristic
flavor and odor Similar to chanterelles, slightly
sweet, earthy and is very resilient, even
crunchy when raw, but remaining firm when
cooked as well. Great to use for soups,
stews, or reconstituted and served as a side
to your favorite dishes.
To Recostitute: Soak them in warm water or
broth (1 cup/oz) for 15–30 min. or until soft.
