Pitfalls and tips

Select the Right Mushrooms

Choose fresh, firm King trumpet mushrooms for their meaty texture, ideal for jerky.

Low and Slow Dehydration

Dehydrate at 150°F (65°C) for several hours without rushing to prevent uneven drying and maintain texture.

Slice with Precision

Use a mandoline slicer for consistent 1/4-inch thick slices, ensuring even dehydration and texture.

Maximize Flavor Infusion

Marinate the mushrooms for at least an hour, or overnight for a deeper flavor, ensuring they are fully submerged.

Check for Doneness

Jerky should be chewy but not brittle. If it cracks slightly without breaking when bent, it's ready.
