Fresh Blonde Morels


The morel season has begun. These wonderful Blonde Morels just arrived today. They have a wonderful intoxicating aroma & flavor that is like no other.

Blonde Morels, also known as sponge mushrooms, yellow morels, white morels etc, possess a honeycombed, hollow, cone-shaped cap ranging in size from 2 to 4 inches high (and often much larger).

Blonde morels vary in color from a rich tan to pale golden yellow and are found in both conifer and hardwood forests. This highly-prized wild mushroom ranges from the Pacific Northwest across to the Eastern Woodlands, but is best known from the lower Midwest up through the Great Lakes region, with scattered harvests from late spring into early Summer.

Esteemed by mushroom lovers, blonde morel mushrooms are renowned for their exceptional flavor and unusual texture.
