About Morel Mushrooms

Morels are the spring mushroom chefs wait for. We buy from four regions so the season runs longer: Yunnan and Sichuan cultivated fields from February, Himalayan wild morels from India and Pakistan in April and May, and wild French and North American morels into June.

Fresh morels are priced per kg and ship chilled. Dried morels are graded by cap length (2–4 cm, 4–6 cm, whole with or without stem) and priced on request, because grade and origin move the price more than anything else.

Buying dried morels in volume

Tell us the grade, origin preference and annual quantity. We send samples, a moisture and foreign-matter specification, and a price per kg for 1 kg, 10 kg and pallet quantities.

Appearance & flavour
Honeycomb cap, hollow from tip to base. Nutty, earthy flavour that concentrates when dried. Classic with cream sauces, butter, eggs and veal.
