Morel mushrooms have caps that are oblong and cone-shaped with short, stout stems. The fragile, brittle cap also has a hollow, honeycomb-like exterior that consists of many irregular holes and ridges with a small, bumpy texture and attaches directly to the stem. Inside the cap and stem, there is a hollow cavity running the length of the mushroom. When cooked, these mushrooms are meaty and tender with a deep, earthy, nutty, and woodsy flavor.
