    I tried dehydrating them once. That didn't work very well as my 
dehydrator was malfunctioning and cooking things instead of dehydrating 
them. Even so, I have heard from several sources that the taste of red 
and black mulberries doesn't dry very well. I have heard that the fruit 
of the white mulberry (Morus alba?) dries very well and is very popular 
in the Middle East. Anyway, I think that preserves, freezing, and, 
perhaps, fermentation may be the only tasty ways to preserve them.

    I understand that the best way to collect them is a big sheet and a 
good tree shaking every couple of days. Certainly hand picking is slow 
and covers only a small portion of the tree.
