In reply to Barb. I'd use 1/4 teaspoon of dried thyme. Enjoy!

Hi There

I have some dried Shiitake mushrooms and was looking for a recipe for the Instant Pot and your recipe popped up.

I don’t have Fresh Thyme, would Dried Thyme work? And how much for the 2 oz of mushrooms and 4 cups of water?

I will be keeping the mushrooms, minus the stems, and the carrots and celery. I know how delicious the mushrooms will be and can only imagine how good the carrots and celery will be!

I usually do the overnite soak but this will be much faster. Chop up the mushrooms once cool and add to rice, pasta, soups. Much more affordable than the porcini.

Thanks very much!

I use a lot of porcine mushrooms stuff’d, (removed stems, save and frozen until have enough for a stock ) double use for the $$. Looking into Powder form, for fortification use.

In reply to Catherine. That's correct no need to soak them before hand. Enjoy!

I think you made it clear, but i just wanted to check. I can place the mushrooms in the pot without soaking them? If that is the case this really is the easiest stock recipe on the planet. I love mushrooms and have read they are extremely healthy. Thank you for the recipe. Wonderful web site.

Why would you “get rid of the solids?” The pressure cooked mushrooms are delicious although you may wish to discard the stems as they might still be tough.

Thanks Angie! You could substitute this mushroom stock in this cream of mushroom soup http://damndelicious.net/2014/05/10/cream-mushroom-soup/. It looks like a great recipe to me.

I am learning a lot by reading your blog. I do have a question for you. I have made lots of chicken stock with my pressure cooker but am looking for a mushroom broth to make my own ‘cream of mushroom’ soup to add to any casserole. Would you have any recipes for one? Thank you.
