Steps:
- In a bowl, combine dried porcini and 1 1/2 cups hot water. Let sit until soft, about 15 minutes. Remove from soaking liquid. Carefully pour off liquid, leaving sediment in bowl; reserve liquid. Coarsely chop porcini.

Tips:
- Use fresh mushrooms. Fresh mushrooms will have the best flavor and texture. If you can't find fresh mushrooms, you can use dried mushrooms, but be sure to soak them in warm water for at least 30 minutes before using.
- Slice the mushrooms thinly. This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
- Sauté the mushrooms in butter. Butter will help to brown the mushrooms and give them a rich flavor.
- Season the mushrooms with salt and pepper. This will help to enhance their flavor.
- Add some fresh herbs to the mushrooms. Fresh herbs, such as thyme or rosemary, will add a nice touch of flavor to the mushrooms.
- Use a good quality bread for the crostini. A good quality bread will be sturdy enough to hold up to the mushrooms and cheese.
- Toast the bread before assembling the crostini. This will help to make the bread crispy and flavorful.
- Top the crostini with the mushrooms and cheese. You can use any type of cheese that you like, but a sharp cheddar or Gruyère cheese will work well.
- Bake the crostini until the cheese is melted and bubbly. This will take about 10 minutes.
- Serve the crostini immediately. They are best served warm and fresh out of the oven.
