Mushroom Health Mix Powder with Preservatives

1.Begin by thoroughly cleaning the dried mushrooms to remove any dust or debris. Use a soft brush or cloth to gently wipe them down.

2.In a food dehydrator or an oven set to the lowest temperature, dehydrate the cleaned mushrooms for about 4-6 hours until they are completely dry and brittle. If using an oven, keep the door slightly ajar to allow moisture to escape.

3.Once the mushrooms are fully dehydrated, let them cool completely to room temperature.

4.In a high-powered blender or spice grinder, add the dried shiitake, reishi, maitake, porcini, and lion's mane mushrooms. Blend until they reach a fine powder consistency.

5.Next, add the dried turmeric powder and dried ginger powder to the mushroom powder in the blender. Blend again until all the powders are well combined and finely ground.

6.Add the ascorbic acid, citric acid, maltodextrin, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Blend once more to ensure everything is evenly distributed.

7.Transfer the mushroom health mix powder into an airtight container. Make sure to seal it tightly to preserve freshness and potency.

8.Label the container with the date and contents. Store it in a cool, dark place to extend its shelf life.
