probably similar to these



Those are not morels, you might pick up a book with pictures. (one with a close comparison to the false morel which is poison and very similar to the morel) I just bought my last batch, but the fresh ones are well worth the hunt.

picked these up dehydrated off of amazon, they are quite good if soaked for 24 hours.


Prepared: 12 hours soaked in water, 12 hours marinated in Greek olive oil(bought pitted olives and poured some of the juice on), red muscadine wine, and a dash of Lea and parons and soy sauce. Light sautee in butter for 5-10 minutes.


Served with a medium rare filet minon (tenderized and marinated over 24 hrs.), and a glass of red muscadine wine.



They don't quite have the body of a fresh morel, the flavor is still great however.
