We love mushrooms in our house and cook with them all the time. They are great in salads raw but even better when sauteed and added to sauces, soups, and stews.
What I enjoy most about mushrooms is their texture, which will vary with the many types of mushrooms now available at most supermarkets. I remember when you would only find button mushrooms at the market, but today, you’ll find portobello, cremini, oyster, shiitake, morel, and plenty more.
Mushrooms in Recipes
I typically buy my mushrooms fresh & whole and then cut them according to the dish I’m preparing or the recipe I follow. However, you may find a recipe that calls for fresh morels, but you can only find dried morels at the market.
- Or what about converting whole to sliced, chopped, or canned?
- Or what about cooked to uncooked mushrooms?
- Or you may have a jar of powdered mushrooms in your pantry that you want to substitute for dried mushrooms.

How to Convert Sliced Fresh Mushrooms to Canned Mushrooms
With all the fresh mushrooms now available at my local supermarkets, I don’t typically cook with many canned mushrooms, but that doesn’t mean I don’t always have them in my pantry. There may be that occasion I need mushrooms for a recipe and don’t feel like running out to the store for them.

- 8 ounces of sliced fresh button mushrooms = 1 ½ ounces of dried mushrooms that have been reconstituted.
How to Convert Dried Button Mushrooms to Fresh Button Mushrooms

How to Convert Fresh Mushrooms to Dried Mushrooms:
The conversion of fresh mushrooms to dried mushrooms for a recipe will depend on what measurement they give you in the recipe – pounds, ounces, or cups. Here we go:
- If the recipe asks for pounds: Multiply the pounds by 16, then divide by 5.33 = ounces of dried you need. For example, if the recipe requires 2 pounds of fresh mushrooms, the conversion would be 2 x 16 = 32 divided by 5.33 = 6 ounces of dried mushrooms.
- If the recipe asks for ounces: Divide the ounces by 5.33 = ounces of dried you need. For example, if the recipe requires 16 ounces of fresh mushrooms, the conversion would be 16 divided by 5.33 = 3 ounces of dried mushrooms.
