Roland FoodsDried Mixed Wild Mushrooms Specialty Imported Food ,16 Ounce (Pack of 1)

Q: When is the expire date?

My bag says good for 15 months but since they are fully dried, I see no reason that they couldn't last a long time so long as you keep them dry

Q: How are these use in a recipe or salad - must they be soaked in water first?

Yes, soak them in hot/warm water, then use the shrooms as normal. The water makes a good mushroom broth, too. I strain the broth through cheesecloth and use it for a steak pan sauce.

Q: There is white on several of the mushrooms. Is this normal? I contacted Roland receiving no response which is disappointing.

I have not seen any white on mushrooms from this co or those I have picked then dried myself. it sounds weird to me and I would return them M ushrooms can make you very sick if they are not good.
