Wild Mushroom Fermentation

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe
Fermented chanterelle mushrooms

Fermented chanterelles were my first foray into wild mushroom fermentation, but it took a while to get it right.

I fermented my first wild mushrooms about 7 or 8 years ago. Every cook has stages they go through as they learn, and fermentation, at that point in time, was my obsession. Similarly, another cook where I worked was fixated on candying things, all the things: carrots, jalapeños—you name it, if it could fit in a pot, it can and would be candied. If another line cook asked me about all the time I spent slicing, salting, bagging, burping and taking care of my experiments, sometimes during service, I’d tell them the same thing the guy candying everything said when they asked him: “it’s just where I’m at right now”.

Now, krauts and kimchees of all the vegetables and rainbow color variations were easy: just salt it, press it, and forget it, so it was only a matter of time before I got bored and ventured into different territory. Meat fermentation was the realm of the butcher, and has a comparatively long turn around, so that was out, but one day during the winter (prime time for Canthatellus formosus coming in from Oregon to Minnesota) I salted up some chanterelles and let them ride for the same requisite 1-2 weeks as the sauerrubens (turnip kraut), kimchees, hybrid kraut-chees, Kim-krauts, and most other fermenty things.

When the time came to unveil my creation, I ran downstairs to the secret area, ripped the cling film and bags of water off, knelt down, put my face deep in the metal third pan, and inhaled a cutting smell of alcohol so sharp it felt like it would burn my eyes. The couple pounds of wasted chanterelles went silently, quietly, into the pig bucket, along with my confidence.

I swore mushrooms were impossible to ferment, I swore they had different chemical properties than the vegetables I was skilled at krauting, somehow producing alcohol instead of lactic acid. Turns out the only thing I was skilled at was blaming my failure on anything but where it belonged—me. To be clear, I’d fermented the chanterelles dry, where I should’ve used vacuum sealing or brine, and I suspect it created ethanol in the process.

It took me a few years to understand what I did wrong, and understand that mushrooms can be fermented like anything else. Recently, I’ve been getting a few consistent questions on the topic, so I thought I’d try to be helpful and answer them. The big questions regarding mushroom fermentation I’ve been getting, more or less, are:

  • What’s the science?
  • Is it safe?
  • How do you do it?
  • And, most importantly: does it even taste good/is it worth it?
Vacuum sealed and brine fermented mushrooms

Two ways to ferment: brine (left) and vacuum sealed with a percentage of salt (right).

The Science

First, there’s more than one way to get from fermenting point a to b, but all I’m talking about here is lactic acid fermentation. Koji fermentation and inoculation, fermentation with wild yeast(s) other than Lactobacillus species, and other one-off things like primitive fermentation without salt are beyond the scope of this post.

Lacto fermented sauerkraut

Traditional sauerkraut gets its flavor from Lactobacillus bacteria, as do lacto-fermented mushrooms.

Simply put, lacto-fermentation is exactly the same process sauerkraut goes through. Salt is added to the mushrooms either by itself or via brine, and air is reduced or ideally completely removed, creating hospitable conditions for good anaerobic bacteria and Lactobacillus species, which, as a byproduct of consuming sugars from the fermenting product in question, also creates lactic acid along with carbon dioxide. The acid lowers the pH, which makes it further inhospitable to bad bacteria, just like vinegar in your pickles. Eventually, the fermentation will stop, and the pH will stabilize (FDA guidelines for safe canning pH will be 4.6 or under). Most of my mushroom ferments have come in around a pH 3-3.5 or so after two-four weeks, in other words, they’re completely, positively, safe.

Ischnoderma resinosum or wild mushroom kimchee recipe

Vacuum sealing ferments is clean, odorless, easy and safe. Kimchees, like the one pictured, produce less carbon dioxide since they often include a higher percentage of salt that slows the fermentation process, generally around around 7% salt from my experience, as opposed to typical sauerkraut, which hovers around 3%. If you don’t want to burp your bag during the fermentation process, try kimchee.

How to do it

There’s a few options here. The simplest, is covering mushrooms with salted water. For that, you might use a concentration of 2-5% salt, or 2-5 grams of salt for every 100 grams of water. But, you could also use 2-5 % of salt for the combined weight of mushrooms and water. Both will work, but will ferment faster (2%) and slower (5%) according to the amount of salt. (Kimchee-style is slightly different, and a slower ferment from from my experience as it typically includes a higher salt brine around 7%, along with other ingredients.) Simply weighing down salted mushrooms like sauerkraut is not recommended, unless it’s only for a handful of days.

How to ferment mushrooms

Fermenting mushrooms in brine is one way to get from point a to point b.

Vaccum sealed ferments and air locks

In my opinion (and the opinion shared by other well-known chefs in the space) is that the most stable, trustworthy, and most importantly the safest ferment, is salting and vacuum sealing, or using an air lock on a mason jar. I primarily use vacuum sealing, but both methods work, and air-locks use glass mason jars, if you’re worried about your plastic consumtpion. Both are effortless, and makes it possible to ferment mushrooms with a low-moisture content (Ischnoderma, and likely Meripilus sumstinei, and others) without a care in the world. I’ve never had mold grow on a vacuum ferment, but if I had a nickel for every time a jar of something in brine grew mold in a jar, well, you get the idea.

King oyster mushrooms and shiitakes fermenting in vacuum bags

A few days after sealing. Note how the bags are inflating from carbon dioxide, and the mushrooms have started to break down.

The added bonus here is that there isn’t any added water, and the mushrooms cure in nothing but their own liquor, so, when you crack that bag open, you can harvest two concentrated culinary products for the price of one. If seasoning food with something like sour mushroom soy sauce sounds attractive, buy a copy of the Noma Guide to Fermentation, which has both condiments made from lacto-fermented dried (porcini) and fresh mushrooms (dryad saddle).

King oyster mushrooms and shiitakes fermenting in vacuum bags

Two weeks after sealing. Note how the mushrooms have gained a slight yellow/cooked hue and given off juice. These are ripe.

Does it taste good?

Yes, with caveats. Have you ever tasted sauerkraut? Not the sauerkraut from a can. I’m talking about the real stuff, the fizzy, effervescently sour stuff. That sour taste is the taste of lactic acid, and whatever you lacto-ferment, will taste of it. In short, fermented mushrooms taste exactly like whatever species of mushroom you use, just crossed with sauerkraut. So far I’ve fermented milkcaps, chanterelles, dried black trumpets, Ischnoderma, crimini buttons, oysters, king oysters, and shiitakes. If you’re wondering, cultivated mushrooms, with the exception of shiitakes, are very mild tasting, and in my opinion, boring if you’re a mushroom hunter. Come at me.

Cooking/Sterilization

Some wild mushrooms, like black trumpet, porcini, a few choice Amanitas (Caesarea group), and plenty of cultivated species can taste ok, bitter, or delicious raw. Plenty of other mushrooms aren’t safe to eat raw at all, like morels, the Gyromitras, honey mushrooms, Leccinum and others.

While lactic acid fermentation does “cook” the mushrooms, problem compounds that cause gastro-intestinal upset are widely known to be denatured by heat, specifically starting at 212 Fahrenheit (the boiling point of water) sometimes for extended periods of time, say, as in the case of muscaria. It follows that simply fermenting that pile of morels, honeys, or whatever species that needs high heat or boiling to be safe, and slipping it in your ramen directly out the bag, is likely to make you, or someone else sick, not to mention the texture of the mushrooms themselves, which we’ll get to.

You can get past any safety worries by cooking the mushrooms before, or after fermentation (I prefer the latter). If you want to cook them beforehand, steaming is a good idea, since boiling will remove tasty solutes into the water. Of course, in the case of some specific mushrooms that have water soluble toxins (Amanita muscaria, Gyromitra species) I would definitely boil them beforehand. If you want to eat your fermented shrooms raw (I ate all my ischnoderma raw from the bag) or more importantly, serve them to others raw, (a risky proposition as sensitivities vary from person to person) you should only use a species that is widely known to be safe uncooked, and inform the diners beforehand of your Dr. Evil intentions.

Mushy fermented shiitake mushroom

One drawback to fermenting is that the texture of many mushrooms breaks down and becomes flaccid mush, although texture will vary between species.

Slimy goo. Is it worth it?

The big question. For most mushroom hunters, probably not. For a few, and more specifically for chefs interested in crafting interesting flavors from local ingredients, especially sauces and concentrated seasonings, absolutely. The drawbacks, and there are some, are that sour mushrooms are an acquired taste, take time and resources to make, and most importantly of all, fermenting mushrooms long enough to actualize a good amount of flavor can quickly turn them into a mushy, flaccid paste of goo. I’d wager even the most die-hard slippery jack eater will find the texture of fermented mushrooms repulsive. But, some very firm polypores (Ischnoderma and likely other firm polypores like Meripilus sumtinei) hold up very well, as did re-hydrated black trumpets fermented in brine. Don’t throw those slimy agarics out with the bath water just yet though.

Mold on a jar of fermented mushrooms

Another reason to use vacuum sealed fermentation. No oxygen=no mold.

Seasonings, soy-like sauces, etc

So, the texture of many fermented mushrooms will be outright offensive to most people, but the flavor can be excellent. Herein is the big takeway: think of long-fermented shroomies as a seasoning, not a foodstuff. I’ve generally used the them as you would an umami rich paste, say, puréed in soup like miso, or as a background flavor, not something to put on a cracker, or a steak.

If you look online, you’ll also find articles that say they ferment mushrooms quickly overnight for artistic-sounding culinary goals like “concentrating glutamate flavors”. Cool. But, the amount of flavor you’ll get from 24 hours of “fermentation” is negligible, and a precious waste of time similar to proclaiming the ground breaking flavor you’ll get from 1 day old sauerkraut.

In closing, fermenting wild mushrooms is perfectly safe, natural, and is useful as it’s a historical preservation method in the same family as sauerkraut and fermented grape leaves. (look to Eastern Europe and their salted mushrooms). The only tricky part is figuring out what to do with it that you and yours will eat. The best tip I have for you, if you experiment yourself, is to start by making a filling like ravioli, pelmeni, or, my favorite: pierogi. The potato and cheese are perfect, mild vehicles for stretching a mushroom flavor bomb, and, everyone loves crispy fried things.

Fermented chanterelle pierogi

Crisp pierogi with sour chanterelles, cream cheese and potato filling were excellent.

Brine Fermented Mushrooms

Mushrooms fermented in brine
Prep Time5 mins
Fermenting Time7 d
Course: Snack
Cuisine: American
Keyword: Fermentation
Author: Alan Bergo

Ingredients

  • Kosher salt
  • Wild or cultivated mushrooms freshest possible
  • Water

Instructions

  • Put the jar or vessel you'll ferment the mushrooms in on a scale, weighing in grams, then tare it to zero.
  • Add the mushrooms and enough water to cover them completely, then make a note of the total grams.
  • Multiply the total grams by anywhere from .02-.05 to get the needed amount of salt, then add that much salt to the jar, mix well to dissolve, weigh the mushrooms down, (pictured was a bag filled with the same % of salt brine) seal the jar, and leave out at room temperature, burping every few days to release carbon dioxide, or so until you're pleased with the flavor. Know that if any mushrooms poke out above the brine, even a little, they can quickly discolor, soften, and mold.
  • After fermentation, store the mushrooms in their brine in the fridge, making sure they're still completely covered with brine. The mushrooms will last as long as they're covered with brine, but even a small amount of exposed tissue will grow mold in the fridge.

Notes

You'll get decent flavor from these after 7-14 days of fermentation. After they are ripe to your taste, refrigerate them. You also need to watch these closely for mold, during the fermentation at room temperature, and after in the fridge. While mushrooms underneath the brine won't rot, the aroma of the mold can eventually permeate the whole jar if you forget about them.

Vacuum-Fermented Mushrooms

Mushrooms seasoned with salt and fermented without air in a vacuum bag.
Prep Time10 mins
Fermenting Time7 d
Course: Snack
Cuisine: American, Russian
Keyword: Fermentation, Fermented wild mushrooms

Equipment

  • Vacuum sealer and bags

Ingredients

  • Wild Mushrooms as fresh as possible
  • Kosher salt as needed

Instructions

  • Clean the mushrooms very well, then weigh them in grams. If you want to eat the ferment straight out of the bag, steam them first, then weigh.
  • Multiply the weight of the mushrooms by anywhere from .02-.05% to get the weight of salt needed. For example, 1000 grams of mushrooms you would use 20-50 grams of salt.
  • Combine the mushrooms with the salt, then quickly vacuum seal the bag. Use a bag larger than you'll need to allow extra space at the top for resealing the bag once or twice during the fermentation process.
  • Over the course of a few days, you'll notice the bag puff and inflate from carbon dioxide, snip off the corner to release the air and "burp" it, then carefully re-seal without using the vacuum setting.
  • Allow the mushrooms to ferment in a cool dark place with a stable temperature (don't ferment them outside) like a pantry. Taste them after 5 days. I like them aged anywhere from 5-10 days depending on what I'm doing. Remember over-fermenting can make them mushy.
  • When you're pleased with the flavor, transfer them to a mason jar, or another non-reactive container, along with every bit of juice from the bag. The mushrooms will last for a month, or longer if you are careful to keep them completely covered by their juices.

Notes

You'll get decent flavor from mushrooms fermenting them anywhere from 7-14 days. If you forget about them in the vacuum bag, don't worry, the ferment is stable, and forgiving.

    What is a good brand/type of vacuum sealer? I’ve done some nice “shroom-chi” is Mason jars, but would like to try the bags.

      The air locks for jars should work similarly. I keep a vacuum sealer around because I use it for way more than just fermenting. A good budget model is a foodsaver in the 150$ range–do not go cheaper than that or they will break on you. I figured that out after going through 2 different 50$ models, and trying to do it on the cheap, not worth it. I’ve been using this one and another as backup the company sent me, and they’ve been good for 2 years. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076MJ3HTR/ref=dp_cerb_2

    First try was with Maitakes, which were amazing in their umami flavor, producing a super versatile sauces. BUT, When I tried a bunch of wild oysters, the result was pretty weird even for my tastes: strangely fruity, with color and texture also like a fermented mango (or, actually, a pawpaw) almost, with a sharp bite. Because I was expecting a dark, earthy flavor, it may just be cognitive dissonance right now, but I haven’t found a way to use them that i really like, though the juice itself it still great under other flavors. Looking forward to trying some different species this spring to see if the flavors are just as wildly different.

    I have been fermenting nearly everything for years as well, so when the Noma Book came out, I thought I give the mushroom fermentation a try. I had a bunch of Purple Laccaria and followed Redzepi’s recipe. I swore I would never ferment another mushroom – so nasty. I am glad you are giving me hope. I always have lots of Chanterelles in the summer, I will try this. Are they anything like the vinegar pickled chanterelles? Pierogies sound great

      Yeah, Laccariaceae are so mild, they prob wouldn’t be too interesting. RE: flavor, just imagine chanterelles crossed with sauerkraut–it’s a real doppleganger for the flavor, lactic acid, etc etc. Each species will be a little different. Super important to not think of them as a “foodstuff” though IMO. Puree, drying for umami-broth, pastes, and soy sauce analogs are going to be the best unless you want to eat slime.

    I am getting ready to ferment 1 lb of cultivated shiitakes via the Noma vaccum seal method, from a grower that has already very objectively clean and beautiful mushrooms. How much more do I need to clean them? I don’t know what kind of organisms live on the surface of cultivated mushrooms that may affect fermentation, but I was planning on at least rinsing. Does removing 1/4 inch from the bottom of the stem also sound appropriate or is it unnecessary? What have you typically done when fermenting shiitakes? Thanks!

      You’re overthinking it here. If they’re cultivated, all you need to do is remove some substrate by brushing with a cloth, with wild species, you would want to remove any grit. Lactobasilii are powerful and resilient, and you have nothing to worry about, especially vacuum sealing them. Completely unnecessary to trim them, especially if you’ll make them into a puree or similar afterwords, since shiitake stems are always tough–good for broth though. –A

    I find this topic fascinating since it combines two of my passions in one- foraging wild mushrooms and lactofermentation. I’ve only tried lactofermenting mushrooms twice, both times with Lactarius piperatus. In both cases, I boiled the mushrooms first and discarded the water. The first attempt was only “meh”- way too salty- but the second one, where I covered the mushrooms with a brine, fresh herbs and garlic, was promising enough that I’d try it again. It’s got me thinking that the technique would work well with other species, like L. indigo, that I’m not a huge fan of fresh.

    I came here by a very roundabout path

    I read an article on dipping sauces for French fries. They focused on various taste values, but none of the international examples focused on unami.

    So, I sought ingredients that featured that taste. I found that the British had a long history with mushroom ketchup.
    The basic recipe should sound familiar to you: shiitakemushrooms and salt fermented together than boiled in an oven.

    But I sought ways to heighten the unami

    Various ingredients could be added: rausu kombu seaweed, tsmari soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, parmigiano reggiano rind, anchovies, katsuobushi dried bonita flakes, prosciutto do Parma, dried tomatoes.

    Herbs and spice with either their own unami or the ability to highlight it, plus traditional additions to mushroom ketchup: mace, nutmeg, black pepper, smoked paprika, cumin, tumeric, rosemary, thyme, toasted seseme seeds, garlic, shallots, cloves, bay laves.

    Red wine is also a possibility.
    I have no idea how to combine any or all of these harmoniously.

    Do you have any suggestions?

      Kind of. Sous vide doesn’t get to 212F though, and I would recommend bringing them to that temp. You could just boil the bag without using the circulator. Or just cook them before you eat, assuming they’re added to a dish in such a way to ensure they’re exposed to killstep temperatures, say boiled in ravioli filling.

It’s been a while since I had fist-size meatballs. They reminded me of dinners I had with Grandpa at Yarussos in St. Paul, where you got one meatball to rule them all on top of your spaghetti and red gravy. 

Obv I had to make some with venison, wild rice, ramps, and bergamot. The wild rice is fun. Hefty. 

Also forgot to oil my hands, like a chump. 🙄

Great time to practice the cold-juice which ensures the juice isn’t bitter.
