HOW TO CONVERT FRESH MUSHROOM QUANTITIES TO DRIED
What do you do if your recipe calls for fresh morel mushrooms, and you’ve only got dried? Here are some simple equations to help you easily convert fresh mushrooms to dried quantities:
DIRECTIONS
- If the recipe asks for pounds:
Multiply number of pounds by 16, then divide by 9. The total equals the amount of dried ounces you need.
- If the recipe asks for ounces:
Divide number of ounces by 9. The total equals the amount of dried ounces you need.
- If the recipe asks for cups:
Multiply number of cups by 3, then divide by 9. The total equals the approximate number of dried ounces you need.

This is great information. Thanks
So if my recipe calls for 16 pounds fresh mushrooms, I first divide the pounds by 16, yielding 1, then divide by 9, yielding 1/9th of an ounce (approx 1 dried mushroom)?
Dear Hmmmm…
You are quite right to point out that I’ve got the wrong operation to convert from pounds to ounces…it should be multiply, not divide. I’ve fixed the post so it displays the correct instructions.
Thanks for the head’s up!
