 Superior quality and fantastic customer service!Oct 29, 2005
By Rebecca Balent
I have been purchasing these mushrooms for years by driving to specialty stores in either NYC or Philadelphia. Even including shipping, this is the best price I have ever seen on these mushrooms! I even received an e-mail telling me shipping may be delayed due to Hurricane Wilma, But still got the product in less than a week! I paid more than double this in a famous Philadelphia cheese shop, and the quality wasn't as good as this! I will definitely be doing more business with this company!!

Absolutely excellent! I use Procini's all the time. The quality of these are first rate. In addition, the quantity of these are such that the value is high...no more will I buy little bags in the grocery store.

An Italian Cook's DreamMar 26, 2008
By Grunt
Most reviewers seem to agree the quality of these mushrooms will add that special magic to any dish requiring their use. There is a decent ratio of whole mushrooms to stems. I assume the more expensive Grade 'Extra AA' offering by JR Mushrooms has more mushroom cap slices instead of so many stems.
As dried mushrooms have a very long shelf life buying them in bulk makes sense to anyone who like me loves to spontaneously prepare a good Porcini based Ragu Sauce, Polenta or Risotto but cringes at driving to the local supermarket to pay $6.99 an ounce for a skimpy cellophane bag of mushroom bits. This company shipped my order to the West Coast in what seemed to be overnight delivery. I will certainly be a repeat customer and will no doubt be preparing more recipes that include the wonderful flavor of dried Porcini mushrooms selected from my big gallon bag. Enjoy!

Keep for ever, taste great, excellent qualityOct 16, 2011
By Ali Julia
I grew up up in a family that loved mushrooms, so I love using them in my cooking. Dried mushrooms are convenient because they keep so well! Porcini's are one of my favorite mushrooms, and JR Mushrooms brand have an excellent quality. AB rating means they have caps and stems, and AA rating will give you more caps. Stems are slightly more chewer, but I like the flavor of both caps and stems.
To reconstitute them I put them in water and then put them into the microwave for 4 minutes to get the water boiling. Then let them cool. If some of them are still hard I repeat the process on the ones that are still not soft. Then I cook with them like I would with fresh mushrooms.
They are easy to use in many different ways. They taste great sauteed in butter. I like adding them to stews or as ingredient for any sauce I make for cooking chicken. I also found they go great with any Indian sauce, like Pataks: Pataks Vindaloo Curry Paste 10 Oz
Mushrooms, what do they taste like:
* PORCINI - sweet, nutty flavor reminds me of hazelnut
* OYSTER - mild, slightly nutty
* CHANTERELLES - sweet mushrooms with flavors that make me think of corn
* BLACK TRYMPETS - smokey flavor
* CREMENI - more flavorful than button mushrooms, but not as strong as shiitake or portobellos
* ENOKI - very delicate flavor, slightly crunchy if fried
* PORTOBELLOS - meaty flavor
* SHIITAKES - rich, almost beefy flavor
JR Mushrooms offer great quality at reasonable price. I recommend them!
