What are Morel mushrooms?
Morels are wild mushrooms (they have not yet figured out a successful way to farm them). They grow after forest fires, under trees. The locations are often guarded by people who don’t want others to know about it, or conversely, they have hunting groups, where people go out together to well known sites to pick these mushrooms. They are expensive, and highly sought after for French Cuisine. Here is a page… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morel and a picture…
