What Do Morels Taste Like?

Unlike many cultivated mushrooms such as cremini and portabella that have a robust, meaty flavor when cooked, morels have a much more subtle texture and taste. They are often described as earthy, woodsy, and nutty. The darker varieties can even have a mild smokiness.

Where to Buy Morel Mushrooms

Check out Black color morel mushrooms specialty supermarkets, local food co-ops, and farmers' markets to find both fresh and dried morel mushrooms. At farmers’ markets they may be pre-selected and sold in half-pint and pint baskets or in bulk where you can self-select your mushrooms.

Many stores will offer them in bulk with other produce allowing you to select the amount you want to purchase.

How to Store Morel Mushrooms

Select plump mushrooms with no signs of wetness or rotting and store them in a brown paper bag on the countertop for two to three days. The bag can also be stored in the refrigerator if you don’t plan to eat the morels right away; the colder environment will help them last up to one week, but it will also dry them out more than if you were to store them at room temperature for a shorter period of time.

You can also dehydrate Black color morel mushrooms and keep them dried for up to 6 months.

Morels can be frozen after being washed, but once thawed they will only be good for puréeing into sauces as the freezing process makes them mushy.
