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! 🍄👏

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.

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.

They are exactly what I need

Disgusting flavour and texture; somehow both bland and bitter, with very slimy parts and very tough chewy parts. Too cheap to be good, unfortunately - do yourself a favour and get some nice porcini mushrooms instead.

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

Whilst l am really enjoying the flavour and texture of most of the wild mushrooms. I can't cope with the fact that particularly one of the varieties seems to have soil in them. Having soak them l carefully rub these ones between my fingers to try to 'wash' the grit out l don't use the liquid at the bottom. I've even tried putting through coffee filter papers, but nothing seems to do the job well enough and is very laborious. I just can't bear chewing on the unavoidable grittiness. Such a shame. They'd be brilliant otherwise.
