are bay leaves safe to eat preserving mushrooms  
Does anyone know how to preserve fresh mushrooms other than drying them? I had in mind something along the lines of olive oil and either vinegar or lemon juice but having looked through all my books (including the Jane Grigson mushroom feast) I can only find methods for drying them. A recipe would be good or even just some vague method. I don't know for example whether you are supposed to cook them in some way first before adding the oil and vinegar. Thanks for any ideas. lindsay

Does anyone know how to preserve fresh mushrooms other than drying them? Provided they are only going to be used in cooking, I find freezing them works well. All I do to prepare them is to wipe them clean with a damp cloth and put them in a freezer bag.

A visiting Italian a while ago brought some ceps (porcini) in olive oil. As far as I remember they were cooked (I presume in the oil). I made them into a delicious risotto, using the oil too. You don't seem to see them like this in shops though. Not sure I would use vinegar, the taste would be rather strong, and it wouldn't go with many mushroom recipes. justin

I had in mind something along the lines of olive oil and either vinegar or lemon juice but having looked through all my books (including the Jane Grigson mushroom feast) I can only find methods for drying them. After drying , the other traditional way of coping with a glut of mushrooms is to make ketchup out of them. This concentrated mushroom liquid can then be used for flavouring. If it's the texture of fresh mushroom that you want to preserve, I don't think it can be done. Incidentally, the Fairy Ring mushroom dries and reconstitutes really well as it does this in nature anyway. Andy R

In fact you are right about porcini mushrooms, but not necessarily in risotto, you use them as 'antipasti' and in salads. and as for how to do it......I have no Idea.
