Morel mushrooms are all the rage right now in fine dining 🍄‍🟫 But did you know how they are harvested?! 🤯

Golden afternoon sunlight poured through the towering glass windows of the Morel mansion, reflecting across endless white marble floors. The foyer was silent except for the distant ticking of an old clock. Then— a child’s soft crying echoed through the hall. The massive front door opened. A white teddy bear slipped from Adrian Morel’s hand and hit the marble floor hard. The camera whip-panned across the foyer— to a tiny blonde girl kneeling beside a metal bucket, dragging a mop weakly across the floor. Her cheeks were dirty. Her eyes swollen from crying. Adrian froze completely. Behind him, Celeste stepped calmly into view holding a glass of white wine. “Why are you home early?” But Adrian barely heard her. His eyes never left the little girl. “Why is she on the floor?” Celeste answered too quickly. “She’s one of the kitchen workers’ daughters.” The little girl stayed silent. Didn’t nod. Didn’t move. Then sunlight flashed against something silver on her wrist. A bracelet. Adrian’s breathing changed instantly. The camera pushed aggressively toward it. “Where did you get that?” The little girl looked up carefully. “Grandpa gave it to me.” Heartbeat rising. The child slowly opened a hidden compartment inside the bracelet with trembling fingers. Pulled out a folded piece of paper. Celeste stepped forward sharply. “Give me that.” But Adrian grabbed it first. The paper trembled violently in his hands as he unfolded it. The world seemed to go silent around him. Written in shaky ink: “This child is Lucie. She is your blood.” All color drained from Adrian’s face. The little girl stared at him with terrified hope. “He said not to trust the lady with the wine.” Celeste flinched instantly. The wine glass slipped from her fingers in slow motion— CRASH. Glass exploded across the marble floor. Nobody moved. Nobody breathed. Then— from the staircase above— an older woman’s furious voice shattered the silence: “She told you the child was dead too?” Adrian slowly turned toward Celeste. Absolute horror spreading across his face. Lucie carefully reached for his hand

Here’s some more practical advice on hunting morel mushrooms (Morchella). Often, if you see one, there will be others hiding nearby. I saw this large one (hand grenade-sized) and put down my basket to mark the area where I wanted to search. By looking around the first big one, I ran into at least 6 other clusters within 5-10 feet. Very worth my time to get close to the ground and unearth some shrumps. . Morels are inherently camouflaged, but it helps to look for any kind of bump and their distinctive honeycombed pitted caps. Looking at pictures of morels before your hunt will help key your eyes into the particular texture - otherwise it can be really difficult to see. . I’m not sure what it is about morels specifically, but I get more negative/condescending feedback on these mushrooms than almost anything else I post. If I cut morels with a knife, I get a bunch of people telling me it’s better to pick them. If I pick them, I get a bunch of people telling me to cut them. Regardless, long term scientific studies have demonstrated that harvest method makes no significant difference in the future appearance of mushrooms. . If I wash them, people tell me I should only brush them. If I brush them, then people tell me I should soak them in salt water for 24 hours. If I call them a fun name like a “hand grenade” I get people faulting me for using a nickname (or strangely not using metric?). If I cook them in any interesting way, people tell me I should only dredge them and fry in butter. If I fry them in butter, people tell me I should diversify my cooking 🤷‍♂️ . At this point I just find it comical how bent out of shape people get about morels and how often their assumptions/projections are incorrect. There is no one universally right way of dealing with morels - just live and let live. Best of luck out there! . . . #morels #morchella #mushroomforaging

If you don’t sauté your morel mushrooms in butter than what are you really doing 🤣 #chiassonsmoke #husbandandwife #OutdoorCooking

Part 2 of 2! The morel mushroom vase I recently SOLD @roundthefountain This particular process of my morel work is the most tedious and requires so many steps beyond what is shown. When people ask if I really hand carve it ALL- I DO! I love carving into this large of a space, the spontaneity, random, yet consistent design of the morel mushroom texture is so cathartic. Can’t wait to make another shape like this but even bigger for @desmoinesartsfestival next month! 🤩 #mushroomart #texturedpottery #handmadepottery #morelmushroom #kilnreveal

Tutorial on picking morel mushrooms 🙌🏼 My favorite way is to use a knife to decrease dirt and sand getting all over my collection. Happy foraging 🍄❤️ #morels #mushrooms
