Morel Mushrooms (Morchella Elata) are Honeycomb-Capped Mushrooms
that are the delight of the Northern Woods. Morel Mushrooms have a
wonderful buttery, woodsy flavor that's delicious with beef, game and
wild rice. Typically, Morels range from 3/4 of an inch to 4 inches in
height. Morels have a cream colored base and A Black Cap. There is also
a White Morel (Morchella Elata) that has a white cap and cream colored
base. ; The B Grade Morels are typically smaller in size and have a
slightly delicate flavor. Typically found in Michigan and Oregon, Morels
inspire an early Spring Pilgrimage in quest of this rare and delicious
treat. Although there are many beliefs, it is commonly believed that
Morels arrive within 10 days after the first Spring frost. Hunters of
the Morel Mushroom rarely reveal their harvesting locations.
Suggested Use:
Morel
mushrooms are highly prized by mushroom hunters for their deep, woodsy
flavor. Competitive hunters wont even tell their friends where they find
these gems of the woods. Because of their earthy flavor, morels are
often paired with cream or white wine sauces and milder flavored meats,
such as veal or chicken. They are also wonderful when partnered with
grilled and roasted foods.
