Umami seasoning at lunch You can find mushroom powder or dried mushrooms easily online, and many grocery stores carry specific types of dried mushrooms. They are really easy to find: I found my bottles down the road out in a semi-rural area on an island. The Trader Joe’s bottle indicates white button mushroom powder, which I could not find locally so I used a general “forest mushroom” blend that turned out really well. I do recommend trying to find porcini mushrooms if you can. 1/2 cup of dry mushrooms makes about 1/4 cup of powder. These dried porcini and forest mushroom blend mix were found at a local shop, and then ground into a fine powder. The dried mushrooms are ground to a powder using a coffee grinder – super simple, and only a few seconds to do.
