Yellow Morel Mushrooms (Dried)

Yellow Morel mushrooms can also be called “Common Morel” or “True Morel”. Yellow Morels have a hollow stalk, and a wrinkly, brain-like or honey-combed cap. Depending on location and climate, morels can grow from March–May. In colder climates, they won’t start fruiting until early–mid May after it has rained significantly and the weather has been warm for a good period of time. We grow our Yellow Morels around Tulip Trees, Black Cherry Trees and American Elm Trees. These mushrooms are highly sought after by chefs for their distinctive nutty and subtle umami flavor. Quickly sautéing them in butter with onions or shallots brings out their woodsy, nutty flavor, which you can then serve alongside grilled steak or incorporate into a pasta sauce or risotto. 

Yellow Morel mushrooms help protect the body from damaging invasive fungi, reduce oxidative stress on the liver. They also contain lots of Vitamin D and antioxidants that are good in protecting your body from free radicals. These free radicals are often the cause of heart diseases, Parkinson’s disease, Type 1, and Type 2 Diabetes. The antioxidants in Morels help in removing harmful molecules in your body called reactive oxygen species.
