Other Names : The Common Morel, Sponge Mushroom,Morchella Esculenta is one of the most easily recognized of all the edible fungi. It is also known as Morchella Esculenta , Gucchi ( Indian Name) etc. For this reason, it is considered one of the safest Mushroom for the amateur to collect.
Basics : In India Sponge Mushrooms can be found in early spring in moist wooded areas, or less commonly in grassy areas. After the winter season , immediately after the melting of snow, Sponge Mushroom starts growing in the hilly areas. Then the local people along with their families rush to those places to search and collect the Sponge Mushroom. After collecting it is dried & stored in their houses and ultimately sold to traders / exporters.
Morels : Morchella angusticeps, M. conica, M. deliciosa, M. esculenta
Cleaning : Because of the irregular nature of its surface a morel cannot be rubbed or brushed. You may find this worrisome, wondering about what kind of things lurk in the dark pits ready to jump into your béchamel sauce. Never fear, most morels are very well groomed, and the pits are very shallow. Try not to use water. Even brief soaking removes their flavor, as with other foods such as strawberries. If you must, run water over them rapidly and cook them at once. Cut lengthwise or cross-section them to clean out the centers.
