In my house, it is the dehydrator.  I have spent the week, having a great time getting these processed and dehydrated for easy storage.  I was able to get such a great deal on them that I got a bit carried away.  One could almost say I was up to my ears in baby spinach and mushrooms.  Thank goodness for having two dehydrators going!

I not only have been dehydrating them but I have also been incorporating them into quite a few meals for several days while they were fresh.  Delicious!

What I found most interesting though is how good the mushrooms tasted once they were completely dehydrated.  Have you ever tried them that way?  Goodness!!  If you love mushrooms, you might love them that way too!  I was eating them like candy!  Every time I walked past the tray, I was popping one to two in my mouth and happily ate through almost half a tray.  I was amazed at how good they tasted.

I was originally thinking of turning each into powder.  I have changed my mind somewhat.  The baby spinach, yes, that will become my green powder.  As for the mushrooms, I have a different plan for those.  I did slice some and some kept some in their whole form.  I might turn some into powder, but I may keep the rest as is.

My next dehydrating adventure will be ginger.  I was able to get another bag of organic ginger at Costco for such a great deal.  I just couldn't pass it up, and will be processing and dehydrating it in a couple of days.

Here are some pictures of my dehydrating fun!!
