The finest quality dried wild morel mushrooms, these are a perfect substitute when fresh products are not available. Morels are rightfully among the most highly prized wild mushrooms in Europe and North America. Grown in temperate regions around the world, they most often grow in moist areas around dead or dying Elms, Sycamores, Ash, or Apple trees. In fact, there are dozens of Morel Festivals in the US to celebrate this seasonal delight every spring. Their earthy taste is unique and wonderful, with a full-bodied flavor that pairs well with veal, chicken, and pork. For an easy sauce, soak dried morels in cognac then simmer in cream until they absorb the cream. Top over seared meat dishes for a taste that's right out of Gascony.
Excellent for pantry staple

Comments about Dried Wild Morel Mushrooms:
Soaking these in cognac for a few hours then adding them to a chicken alfredo, with just a few tablespoons of the cognac, made this an excellent dish with just a touch of exotic. I would use fresh if available, but these work well for all other ocassions.
