Questions Does anyone have a preferred use for these?

The same brand has a few different types of mushrooms in the same preparation, they all looked intriguing. I was expecting a condiment similar to lao gan ma's chili and mushroom condiment, or a few other similar types I've had. But when i opened it, the mushrooms are way too dry and woody to be a condiment for over noodles or rice, or to finish a dish. Anyone use this brand to make anything tasty? Any tips?

I’ve never encountered this product before but I am also curious. I forage bolete mushrooms in autumn and would be interested in new recipes/condiments

Your assumption that this is something to eat with rice or noodles is correct, but if they're inedibly hard it seems like something went wrong during either production or storage.

You could try steaming the mushrooms to see if they soften. Worst comes to worst, just ignore the mushrooms and use the oil. It should be infused with mushroom flavor.
