Use them up ! I'm still working through some chickens of the woods that I dried a few years ago, and they're just not as good as fresh.

I hope the mushroom bug is contagious! Your Chicken in the Woods story reminds me of an embarrassment of fungi riches I experienced several years ago thanks to a Southern Californian unseasonal spring rain, and some recent municipal mulching that turned a local parkway into a morel forest. I had so many mushrooms that I too ran out of recipe ideas. I ate them in everything from frittatas to stir fries, casseroles to risottos. I dried out several pounds to much success. I was just thinking about foraging on a local walk with my daughter down a particularly shaded trail of oaks. This fall (we have a curtailed mushroom season in California) I'll start hunting for more. Thanks for the Substack mention as well, and keep rewilding. I'm right behind you.
