Morel Mushrooms

This product is not currently available.

Morel mushrooms are truly wild; they come and go at the whim of Mother Nature and cannot be cultivated. Because each honeycombed, bark-colored cap serves as ideal camouflage against the forest floor, they're the trickiest mushrooms to track down, and often the most expensive. Mikuni Wild Harvest's network of eco-conscious foragers practice sustainable methods, sourcing these fresh morels from Oregon, Washington State and beautiful British Columbia, where they develop a deep woodsy, nutty flavor reflective of the earth.

Here's what you get:

  • 1 lb of fresh morel mushrooms

Co-founder Tyler Gray began his foraging career as a child while gathering brambleberries (and escaping bears) in the forests of British Columbia. Throughout his many early adventures—which include diamond mining and driftwood scavenging—his passion for food foraging never waned. He's now the trusted forager for the country's top chefs.

Treasures of the Forest

The location of a morel patch is a closely guarded foragers' secret; as Hank Shaw tells us, "To be a mushroom hunter is to be the Indiana Jones of foragers. You must be part scholar and part adventurer, willing to head far off the trail and brave real dangers to return with riches. And there is something else, something mystical—every mushroom hunter tells the same story, a variation of my magical moment with the morels."  Luckily for us, this magic extends beyond the thrill of the hunt into the kitchen. Morels have a wonderful affinity for cream and butter, and simple treatments let their flavor shine. We love them simply sautéed with a knob of butter, a clove of garlic and a few sprigs of thyme, buried like treasures in a buttery risotto.
