Hello Beverly! We do freeze porcinis, when we pick too many to eat in one time. Other types mushrooms can be frozen once cooked, but the porcini must be frozen fresh. Then you don’t have to wait until they are completely unfrozen to cook them, or they will become too soft. Just enough to be ablo to cut them in slices (about 5 minutes after you’ve taken them out of the freeze). So probably frozen porcinis are the best option (even though I’ve never bought them); canned porcini I don’t like, dried porcini are ok.

Hi Baverly. To be honest I never tried the frozen porcini. I am in Italy till the 24 of this month but when I return to the US I plan to order them and see if I taste the difference. Do you have an whee to order them? Thanks Paolo
