Original Text
TAKE large mushrooms, peel them, scrape out the inside, put them into a sauce-pan, throw a little salt over them, and let them boil in their own liquor; then throw them into a sieve to drain, then lay them on tin plates, and set them in a cool oven. Repeat it often till they are perfectly dry, put them into a clean stone jar, tie them down tight, and keep them in a dry place. They eat deliciously, and look as well as truffles.
