Tasty Shrooms

I soak these for use in miso soup and add them to slow-cooked meals. Tasty and good for us. I would prefer a bulk-bag option at good value because all these small packets are not environmentally-friendly and they are unnecessary. Cost could come down too if everything wasn't be packaged so small. I accept that it is a bigger outlay though and others need smaller package options.
