Feature product – It’s morel season!
A pile of wild yellow morel mushrooms sit on a picnic table.
Morel mushrooms are a type of fungus that grow in the spring and early summer. They’re usually found in forests and woodlands, although they can also be found in meadows and grasslands.
The most distinctive feature of morels is their shape: they look like honeycombs or sponge-like mounds with hollowed out centers. The caps are generally between 1 to 6 inches tall, but they can get up to 9 inches when they’re fully mature!
Morels have an earthy flavor that’s slightly nutty, which makes them perfect for pairing with other strong flavors like cheese or meat dishes–or even just eating on their own!
Morel mushrooms are a great source of protein, fiber and minerals. They also contain antioxidants like selenium, which can help protect against oxidative stress and cancer. Morel mushrooms have anti-inflammatory effects that can be beneficial for people with asthma or arthritis.
Available in the YYC Growers online store → here (while quantities last).
