Douglasjfetter Posted June 3, 2018 Report Share Posted June 3, 2018 I have found a king bolete which I am super excited about!!! This is the first edible besides chanterelle that I have found this far! But it's big and I want to dehydrate most of it I have cut into 1/4" pieces but I do not have a dehydrater so I was planning on doing it in my convection oven. I have it set for 170 cracked open a bit which is what I read was the best. But should I cut the spongy part off or leave it?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt McDermott Posted June 4, 2018 Report Share Posted June 4, 2018 I leave the pore tubes on these, if they aren't all bug eaten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mushroom Whisperer Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 The pore layer has the strongest flavor, when dried. If you grind it to a powder, it makes a great seasoning. Very umami. I've mixed bolete powder with butter and put it on toast, noodles, steak, crackers, salmon, etc. The powder also goes well in risotto. Don't grind until you're ready to use it. I have several Spring Kings drying right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
