Morel Mushrooms
Our goal is to provide you with Grade A morel mushrooms throughout the entire year.
Morel Mushrooms
Morel mushrooms are one of the most sought after mushrooms in the world. If you land yourself some on your dinner plate, you should consider yourself very lucky. We try to always have a nice selection of both fresh and dry morel product in our store.
Grade A quality
We hand pick every morel mushroom. With over a decade of morel mushroom picking experience, rest assured that you’re getting the best of the best.
Dried professionally
First we apply forced air to our morel mushrooms, then low temperature heat for 24 - 36 hours. We then allow them to cool before we finish dry at a high temperature.
Fire morels
All of our morels have been selectively hand picked in forest fire burn areas. These type of morels are the best tasting. No farmer can reproduce the magnificent taste of a wild morel.

Huge demand
The morel mushroom season is always short lived and is reliant on mother nature and several other factors. Typically, demand outweighs the market supply which can result in shortages and high prices. If you have a chance to purchase morels, do so, and dry them out if you don’t plan on consuming them right away. They will last a long time under the proper conditions.
Storing morels
Dry morels
Keep the morels inside the bag you purchased them in. Store the bag in a cool, dark, dry location and they will keep for a year.
Fresh morels
Keep your morels inside the fridge on a plate covered with a wet paper towel. Replace the paper towel daily. They should keep up to 7 days.

Preparation Instructions
Reconstitute your dried morels with water, milk or your favorite wine for approximately 45 - 60 minutes. Keep the liquid and add it to your home made soup to give it a potent morel flavor.
Sauté your mushrooms after cutting lengthwise with your favorite herbs or stuff large morels with rice, shrimp, or whatever you fancy.
Refrigerate left overs immediately and use within 1 to 2 days. Discard any left overs older than 2 days.
