Our favorites are the yellow ones: \u003cem\u003eMorchella Deliciosa\u003c\/em\u003e (Delicious Morel) and \u003cem\u003eMorchella Esculenta\u003c\/em\u003e (Common Morel). These are wild mushrooms that grow under old trees or in soils that have been altered by a forest fire. It may sound strange, but truffle hunters have noticed that they reproduce in greater numbers in these places. However, there is no definitive explanation for why this phenomenon occurs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIts cap is often compared to a honeycomb; some even liken it to a small tree, and there are more imaginative comparisons that describe it as a little alien. The truth is that it is neither a plant nor an animal. The \u003cem\u003emorel\u003c\/em\u003e has its own kingdom.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe \u003cem\u003eDelicious Morel\u003c\/em\u003e has a whiter tone than the \u003cem\u003eCommon Morel\u003c\/em\u003e, which is more yellow. And as it ripens, its color intensifies, while the stem is whitish and hollow.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe morel has a scent that evokes a blend of earth and nature, slightly sweet, especially when fresh. For some, it emits a strong mushroom odor. In taste, it has a nutty flavor and a smoky taste.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAs for its price, it is high. But why is the \u003cem\u003emorel\u003c\/em\u003e one of the most expensive mushrooms in the world? Well, because its cultivation is very difficult and there is no guarantee that it will grow. And as we said, they sprout after forest fires. They are hollow, voluminous, and not heavy, so you have to collect a larger number to get 1 kilogram of mushrooms.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to Cook Morels\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhatever way you prepare them, the general rule for morels is: NEVER raw, always cooked.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe ingredients that pair best with morels are Emmental and Gorgonzola cheeses, and fresh butter. It also goes well with fresh black truffle and anything your imagination dictates.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSo let your imagination run wild.
