Morchella MUSHROOMS! When the Lilacs are in bloom.....



   
                           
 Morchella, the true morels, is a enus of edible mushrooms closely related to anatomically simpler cup fungi. These distinctive mushrooms appear honeycomb-like in that the upper portion is composed of a network of ridges with pits between them. 
The ascocarps are prized by gourmet cooks, particularly for French cuisine.
Commercial value, risk of poison ivy & nettles aside,
morels are hunted by thousands of people every year simply for their taste and the joy of the hunt!
