Morel mushroom caps, jumbo, dried, Borde

Morel (Morchella conica, Morchella elata): This mushroom is a typical spring mushroom, growing from April to May in light coniferous forests, along roadsides, and in deciduous woodlands. In terms of flavor, this mushroom is the king of dried mushrooms. A well-prepared morel cream sauce is a delightful experience for any gourmet. The best quality morels are sold without the stem (the stem is very leathery and has a weak flavor); those sold with the stem are called `original` mushrooms. Jumbo morels are 7-10 cm in size.
