The snow line has melted and that means more fresh Morel mushrooms, the magical mushroom of Spring, the best-known wild mushroom in North America. The Morel is the only mushroom that needs to be cooked before eaten. If not, it could cause toxic sickness and dizziness. Fresh Morel crops are usually bigger in the Spring when there were forest fires the previous summer or fall. You see, the hot fires cause more Morel spores to begin growth.
Morels can be saut ed, stuffed, braised, added to an omelet, or cooked in a light cream sauce.
