Important update: After this video was made and edited, a student of mine brought me a bag of porcini that are unbelievable -- the best flavor, no worms, large pieces that are easy to wash. I didn't need to throw any of them out. She gets them at Atlantic Spice Company in Truro, MA (it's on the Cape). The country of origin is Chili. I just checked their website and the price is unbelievable -- $12.55 for 8oz and they ship! This is what I'll be buying from now on. atlanticspice.com/Mushroom-Porcini-Dried--8-oz_p_454.html (this is NOT an affiliate link, I just really love these mushrooms).
