Fresh shiitake mushrooms are super cheap, less than $2! They're delicious steamed with eggs!! I'd definitely buy them again if they were on sale. If you can't finish them, you can sun-dry them to make dried shiitake mushrooms.

The dried shiitake mushrooms do not take long to rehydrate in hot water. Maybe 5 - 10 minutes? They have a strong flavor. I sliced them up and added them to a soup. I like that the stems have been removed.
