What Are Morel Mushrooms and How Do You Cook With Them?

These mushrooms are only grown in the wild, usually found in wooded areas throughout North America and Europe. Each spring, foragers go out into the wilderness to harvest for use in fancy restaurants or to sell at local farmers' markets. They have an earthy, nutty flavor. Unlike the common slimy texture of other mushrooms, these have a meaty texture.

Morels shouldn't be eaten raw since they can cause stomach cramps. Prepare them by cleaning them with cold water and dry quickly before they soak up the water. Then, slice them up and cook them in one of the recipes listed below.

Beware of false morels, that look similar but are actually poisonous. False morels are reddish-brown to yellow in color, with a cap that hangs to one side. Real morels are hollow inside. Make sure to go with an experienced guide if you're tempted to go foraging on your own to make them for dinner.
