Hunting morels is a great excuse to get outdoors during a nice time of year.
Ideal growing conditions could bring 50,000 morel hunters into forests across the West.
Morel coined the concept of "degeneration" and was the first to articulate a full-blown theory of heredity.
Are we quite sure there is not something morel?
One of the best and simplest ways to enjoy morels is by gently sauteeing them in butter, cracking pepper on top and sprinkling with salt.
The largest and most commonly known ascomycetes include the morel and the truffle, however the polymorpha is an inedible variety.
