1. Place the dried mushrooms in a medium bowl. Boil 2 cups of water and pour it over the mushrooms. Let sit for 20 minutes for the mushrooms to hydrate and the water to infuse with the mushroom flavor. Remove the hydrated mushrooms from the water and squeeze the mushrooms well. Coarsely chop the hydrated mushrooms and set aside.
2. Strain the mushroom water, discarding any sand or grit, and pour into a large saucepan with the chicken broth and the remaining 3 cups of water. Bring to a simmer.
3. Chop the mushrooms into thick slices. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, heavy dutch oven or high sided skillet over medium high heat and add the mushrooms with 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt. Cook until the mushrooms begin to become tender and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Add the hydrated mushrooms and continue cooking while stirring occasionally, for 3-4 minutes or until the mushrooms are soft and juicy. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
4. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil to the pan over medium heat. Stir in the rice so the grains are evenly coated, stirring constantly for 2-3 minutes until the rice becomes toasted and fragrant. Add the onion and garlic, and cook until the onion softens, for another 2 minutes, and season with the remaining salt. Add the cooked mushrooms and stir to combine.
