Morels are a rare and highly valued wild mushroom, that grow on dead and decaying wood in coniferous forests in the western Himalayas at the altitude of 2000 to 3500 meter. They are mainly found in the Karnali Zone of the Mid-western Development Region of Nepal. People in this region have been engaged in collecting these mushrooms from forests for many years for subsistence purpose as well as for commercial use. Morels are harvested from early April until June.
Harvesting is done manually.
Morel mushrooms have short, thick, hollow stems, topped with sponge-like pointed caps, resembling honeycombs. Morels may be tan, yellow or black in color and produce a rich, nut-like flavor and woodsy fragrance. All the morels have a honeycombed, hollow, cone-shaped cap ranging in size from 2 to 4 inches high and in color from a rich tan to an extremely dark brown. The morel is widely appreciated by gourmets, who savor its earthy flavor.
