Morel    Morchella,  Black Morel, White Morel, Yellow Morel, Grey Morel, Sponge Mushroom,   Morille (French), Morchel (German), Amigasatake (Japanese).

With a sponge-like texture this is among the best known mushrooms: a very tasty prized wild fungus that appears in the spring.  The morel is considered to be the epitome of wild edible mushrooms. Commercial production has never been successful on the morel leaving the morel as one of the top three sought after wild mushrooms along with the Cèpe and Chanterelle. It is sold in fresh, dried and canned form. Morels favor limestone areas and occur where the soil has been disturbed.  They produce in mass after forest fires.

Storage  Young specimens will keep for 10 days at 34 degrees F.
