Tasteless
These porcini mushrooms are very bland. I regret buying them from this website, and though my old source is more expensive, I'll be making my next porcini purchase from them (especially considering it's an expensive ingredient anyway).

Delicious Mushrooms
The porcini mushrooms are very tasty, they are packaged very well and arrived quickly. I would like to see instructions on how to best reconstitute them. I will definitely buy again.
