Shroomers heaven
Have you ever eaten a fresh morel mushroom with scrambled eggs and a bit of parmesan cheese? Have you even eaten one with pencil-thin spring asparagus and butter? I have. Share your morel stories if you’d like — these are mushrooms worthy of adoration.
And while you’re at it, read the stories from the Great Morel Site. People will do the damndest things to get their shrooms.
Now, can anyone tell me where can I get my hands on some in Maryland?!

Considering that morels sell for about $38 a pound around these parts, I think it’ll be a long, long time before I have any morel stories.

I’m not sure what you mean by “fresh morel mushroom” — these mushrooms are poisonous until they’ve been dried (thus, Elayne, you might be surprised to find that a fistful of them is only an ounce or two). I love their taste and have made an excellent soup that involved them. your combinations sound great!

By fresh I mean from this season.
