Yes, you want dust in your pantry.

More specifically, you want dried porcini mushrooms in your pantry. Dried mushrooms keep indefinitely and can easily be reconstituted for use with pasta and risottos or added to soups and sauces. More important, you can simply blitz the heck out of them and turn them into deeply flavorful and aromatic dust.
