Morels are simple to identify, and they don't look like any poisonous species, they are a great beginning in mycophagy. The false morel has a solid stem, but isn't poisonous, just not great tasting. The morel should have a brainy cap and a HOLLOW stem.

I love the flavor, texture, and (when cooked) smell they add to food; so many dishes seem incomplete to me without them.MIBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09573931442905994264noreply@blogger.com
