I like to put sliced muchrooms on a sheet pan in a single layer and put them in the oven to dry them out to add to braised dishes. It removes the moisture nicely and they infuse such a nice flavor after. Too me, if I don't do this I end up with a flavor profile some what like hay and they are rubbery and chewy. Just FYI
My nephew the chef also showed me the method of baking the mushrooms at about 350 for 45 - 60 minutes in butter. They come out brown and rich and amazing.
The original question is here http://www.food52.com/foodpickle/5636-when-making-spaghetti-bolognese-how-do-i-cook-the-mushrooms and my answer is under the question. Thanks for asking!
