Cooks & Co Dried Mixed Forest Mushrooms 500 g

Cooks & Co Dried Mixed Forest Mushrooms are a strong choice if you want depth of flavour without fuss. The mix rehydrates well and releases a rich, earthy aroma that works beautifully in risottos, sauces, soups, and stews. The pieces are generous, not dust or crumbs, and they keep their texture once cooked. A little goes a long way, so the 500 g pack lasts well and offers good value. These are dependable mushrooms that add real character to everyday cooking.

These are a wonderful staple to add depth to stews, soups and other dishes. Especially if you are vegan, vegetarian or have dietary restrictions. Dried mushrooms add a depth of flavour that can be hard to come by. They last for ages and have a nice range of different mushrooms. They have been pretty much always in the house for about 5 years. We never let them run out.

These ‘Forest mushrooms’ are definitely impressive value for money…but be warned: they are NOT like the mushrooms most of us are used- to! So far I’ve tried adding them to spag bols, fry-ups and stews but the result is always the same i.e. tough, chewy, and don’t taste like mushrooms as most of us know them. I now only use them in an emergency. They are also very rich, so unless you use them sparingly can soon make you feel ‘ icky’. Suggest that you also chop them much smaller once hydrated to make them more palatable.

Cooks & Co Dried Mixed Forest Mushrooms are fantastic! The mushrooms have a rich aroma and great quality – once soaked, they look just like fresh ones. I made a soup with them, and it turned out absolutely delicious, full of deep, forest flavor. I’ll definitely buy them again – perfect for soups, sauces, and risotto! 🍄👏

They are exactly what I need

Tasty mushrooms. We're buying them regularly. Cheaper and bigger than the high road options.

I really wanted to like these based upon so many good reviews but the product is substandard. Some of the mushrooms were soft and damp, some had a faint petroleum-like taste, some had mold on them (not natural mushroom spores or mycelia). And you can tell that they are wild mushrooms and come from the forest because there is still plenty of forest left attached to many of them. With such a lack of attention to detail, can you be certain that there are no toxic mushrooms include?

Great price for good value
