I know the feeling. Let us know what ya think of them.
Eating them now, as I type. Just dipped in some milk, then all purpose flour and fried in a little oil. A sprinkle of salt as they came out of the oil. Not bad... not otherworldly or anything, but a good shroom. They are pretty good, but I can't see what all the fuss is about. lol. I'd like a big plate of 'em, and I'd enjoy them. But they're not as crazy good as it seemed I should expect - but realistically, I didn't get all worked up about them.
But they're good, yeah. If I had a bushel full, I'd be happy, but otherwise, they're a neat novelty and I'm happy I've had some.

If you had gone out, walked miles fighting ticks, thorns, and poison ivy, they would taste like manna from heaven. Lol.
I like em, don't crave them so much, but they do make a nice alternative to button mushrooms when you sauté them in salted real butter, and pile on a nice ribeye.

If ever you get the chance again to have them, skip all the flour and oil. Wash them, cut in half and fry in real butter until crisp. Nothing like it. I think you would truly enjoy them a lot more. Just a thought.
QFT and ditto on morel enjoyment!
Looks like the Chinese have figured out how to successfully cultivate morels...
Too small print to read on the phone. Have to look on the laptop later, but if they have the method, I'd give it a try.
I don't imagine they'll let their secrets out. I tried for a while to grow them. It was super easy to get morel spores to germinate in petri dish agar and transferred into dirt/grain jars. I could get the mycelium to colonize the jars, but I never could get it to go to the next stage and form a schlerotia. I had a semi-controlled environment and could control the humidity and CO2 levels, but still couldn't make it work. Would love to know the secrets, myself..
