Abstract
The present invention relates to the production of three (3) distinct savory flavor types of dehydrated mushrooms: (1) a light-colored material with strong mushroom flavor, (2) a tan-colored material with a meaty, buttery and savory flavor and (3) a dark-colored material with a beefy, meaty, chocolate flavor. All three products exhibit "umami" or monosodium glutamate (MSG)-like mouthfeel and flavor synergy. The mushrooms are produced using specialized nutrient additives, controlled growing conditions and specialized dehydration protocols.
