Dried mushrooms that have a pitted and wrinkled texture that when rehydrated have a rich combination of earthy, nutty, woodsy, and umami-filled flavors.
Dried morel mushrooms are comprised of dehydrated caps that have an oblong to cone-shaped appearance. The cap has a pitted, wrinkled, and textured honeycomb-like surface and is found in buff, light brown, grey, to dark brown, almost black hues. The dried caps are also fragile, rough, and brittle, crumbling under slight pressure. When rehydrated, dried morel mushrooms have a rich combination of earthy, nutty, woodsy, and umami-filled flavors.
