Premium Grade Dried Morel Mushrooms (Morchella Conica) (1oz)

These mushrooms arrived in a vacuum-packed heavy-duty plastic bag. They were mostly or entirely intact (unbroken) and surprisingly uniform in size (as the picture shows). I haven't tasted them yet, but given their clean and well preserved appearance, I have every reason to believe they will be wonderful. Update... I still give these five stars. The first time I tried them, I lightly sauteed them in olive oil, and I was disappointed because they were quite rubbery, unpleasantly chewy. I posted a question about this, and several people responded that either I had not rehydrated them long enough (I did it about a half hour in warm water) or I had not cooked them enough (my habit is to cook things as little as possible). So I tried again. This time I rehydrated them overnight in the refrigerator, and I fried them thoroughly in butter. What a difference! They were much more tender, and the butter brought out the wonderful morel flavor that I remember from my childhood.

These Dried Morel Mushrooms are a fantastic value! After reading some negative reviews, from awhile ago, I was a little hesitant to order. So when my order came, I was amazed at the quantity and size. Just out of curiosity, I measured several and most of them average between 3 - 4 inches - before the stem portion! Considering how small the one in markets are (if you can even find them) and how much the sell for there, I feel like I have hit the jackpot! Look up online how to use them in sauces - you will be amazed at the flavor they add!

Instantly surprised by the amount we got for the price and the quality of the mushrooms! They were all intact, a good size, and there were no pieces broken off or powder at the bottom of the bag (something we have observed with other dried mushroom products) and with a 30 minute soak and quick cook in butter they turned out very similarly to the fresh ones that we spend hours hiking around the PNW forests to find. For the price (compared to buying them anywhere else we have found) we were expecting enough for one good meal but ended up eating more then we normally would for a dish and have at least 2 more hearty meal servings for later! Highly recommend!

Good flavour. Easy to use

There are several questions about this being the real deal- I can assure you it is. The morels sent to me had a bold, smoky flavor with a meaty texture. I put it in turkey stuffing and it significantly upped the umami flavor. The water I used to reconstitute the mushrooms was so good, I wanted to make a consommé out of it, but I used it where ever stock was needed in a recipe. Tip: Don't cut or slice these, leave them whole when adding to a recipe, and don't overcook them as the flavor will weaken and the mushrooms will shrink a lot.

I haven’t had morels in a long time, so I thought I would give these a try. They were amazing. I rolled them in flour and fried them in butter. They were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I will definitely be ordering more.

Don't know what's used is the drying process or what perservatives, but they smell like bandaid adhesive. After soaking the smell and taste is there.

for the price, it is worth it, but the flavor just isnt as good as I remember them being, fresh anyway. rehydrating them with water destroys the flavor probably
