Directions

  1. 1Clean fresh shiitake mushrooms with a brush and cut off the stems.
  2. 2Place the cleaned mushrooms in a Dutch oven and cover with filtered water. Add an extra inch of water above the mushrooms.
  3. 3Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for about two hours.
  4. 4Strain the mushrooms from the broth and set them aside.
  5. 5In a second pot, cover the mushrooms with water and boil for approximately two hours. This creates a second mushroom broth.
  6. 6Pour the mushroom broth from the second pot into the first pot. This combines the two broths.
  7. 7Let the combined broth boil down until about three quarters of the liquid remains.
  8. 8In a blender, blend the dried shiitake mushrooms into a powder.
  9. 9Spread the mushroom extract on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and dehydrate in the oven until completely crumbly.
  10. 10Once cooled, blend the dehydrated mushroom mixture into a powder. Add salt until it's as salty as desired.
