I found this interesting:
It sounds like good food sources are mushrooms (particularly shiitake, maitake, nameko, and Judas's ear) and shrimp. Judging by the data here, it seems like short (~5 minute) boiling times might make more trehalose available, but that's probably a bad idea with mushrooms.
I think the production of Hayashibara trehalose powder might be ok, with mold/yeast and bacterial production issues being the only possible problems to jump out at me:

Examine.com suggests that very little (or no) trehalose will reach cells when eaten because of the activity of threhalase. I haven't found any details on that, but maybe a more patient person than me will look through their references. Because I'm vehemently opposed to topical mushroom administration.
Ray Peat September Newsletter said:Trehalose also increases autophagy (Sarkar and Rubinsztein, 2008, Casarejos, et al., 2011, Emanuele, 2014), a process in which aggregated insoluble proteins are eliminated, which has implications for all the degenerative diseases. In mice it can reverse a nervous disorder, ataxia (Chen, et al., 2015). The way it reduces inflammation, lowering nitric oxide and NF -kB (He, et al., 2014, Noh, et al., 2014, Yurkiv, et al., 2015), is probably a result of its stabilization of cell structure.
Although our intestines contain enzymes for turning trehalose into glucose, these are mostly in the lower part of the intestine, allowing some of the trehalose to be absorbed into the blood and into the tissues.
