I have gotten on this kick of making homemade flavored salt. It makes a boring dish AMAZING!!! I started with making homemade jalapeño salt. I fell in love with that stuff. I have been putting it on everything. I gave some to my friends and now they keep asking for more. I can't keep it on hand.
Then I needed a celery salt for a recipe and I couldn't find it in half the stores I went to. When I did find the celery salt and saw the ridiculous price, I was like,"Forget this, I will make my own!!!" My celery salt was better than any store bought version. It was like eating fresh celery without the rough texture.

Mushroom Seasoned Salt Recipe
After such great results with my other flavors, I decided to create this mushroom seasoned salt recipe. The salt is very powdery. It doesn't have a very grindy texture like most salts. That is because it is packed with mushrooms and dehydrated into a powder. However, the powdery texture is great for dusting dishes with FLAVOR!!!! I use the Nesco FD-75A Snackmaster Pro Food Dehydrator, White - MADE IN USA
to dehydrate all of my foods. I love it. I highly recommend it.
My daughter hates mushrooms, but I have found it is the texture and look of the mushrooms that she hates. She has no idea I have slipped this mushroom salt into some of our meals, and so far she has not complained.
This mushroom salt adds that immediate flavor punch to a dish that takes it from boring to delicious. I started giving this gluten free seasoning to my friends as a homemade gift. They love it. I hope you enjoy it also. xoxo

Yikes... I don't know how many ounces it dehydrates to after... But I am guessing about 3-4oz after.... What you could do is start with that, taste it, and adjust if you need to add a little more salt or more mushrooms after tasting. Hope this helps.

I don't have a dehydrator, but I DO have a large container of dried mushrooms from Costco. What volume would I need to get a comparable result? How much does your 2 lbs of mushrooms weigh after dehydration? thanks for any tips!
