I thread mine on cotton and dry them above the wood burner, so a low oven might replicate it successfully?

Are they worth drying? As they practically cook to nothing, I wasn't sure if it would be worth the effort.

I normally use my dried ones in risotto, it's always been fine.

Shaggy Parasols 'last' much better in the fridge than the ordinary parasols, but I've never had enough to consider trying to preserve them...

Half or a quarter of a cap maybe?
I believe that an adverse reaction is unusual, but basically, um, gastric...
I rather like parasols (as suggested by Carluccio) sandwiching a filling of egg, fresh breadcrumbs, emmental and gruyere...
Maybe half a cap sautéed, then stirred into some scrambling eggs - to spread the taste and aroma?

shaggys have a great flavour when dried - worth it.
oven drying is quite expensive tho - have you got an airing cupboard?
