more about Fire Morels....

This is for "Stacy" and anyone else that happens along...

First, The main export market is to Europe  and to a lot of world class hotels all around the globe.

Fire Morels have a very earthy taste, and are found in abundance the following year after a forest fire.

There are not just one kind of fire morel but many, first comes the "Conicals" (or naturals), followed later buy "blonds and Greys". And even later come Greens and Blacks. The  Greys and Greens are the ones that most people like the best, because the walls are double thickness and the size is usually a lot bigger.
