I generally cook and then freeze.

debic, thanks!  Since this is the first time I'm making mushroom broth, I don't want to freeze the mushrooms. 

Normally, I freeze the vegetable scraps that go into my homemade stock until I get enough to make it.

Have you considered dehydrating?  I do on a slow Sunday in batches.  Store in vaccum sealed bag or container....or just in a mason Jar or spice jar.  Lasts a long time and you have mushrooms whenever you want for everything.

Great idea, Scamper, but I don't have a dehydrator.

HonnyBrown, I went to look this up and found this site:

http://www.mushroom-appreciation.com/drying-mushrooms.html#sthash.EExAvere.dpbs

It reminded me that my mom used to dry mushrooms out in the sun all the time . . . it was so long ago I had completely forgotten but this site does have many methods for those of us that don't have dehydrators (although and I am not kidding I think I saw one at Aldi no too long ago . . . ).

mtc, this is awesome!!!!!  When Scamper mentioned dehydration, my mind went straight to the REI camping section.

Everyone had great options! Oven dehydration will be the method.

Thanks everyone!
