Mushrooms are as mysteriously unique as they are delicious. While often thought of as a vegetable and prepared like one, mushrooms are actually fungi, a special type of living organism that has no roots, leaves, flowers or seeds. While they can be cultivated, they easily grow wild in many regions of the world. Reference: http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=97#descr

Dozens of varieties of edible mushrooms appear in the spring, but there's no doubt that the wild morel mushroom is the star of the season. Despite their spongy, almost alien appearance, morel mushrooms have a delicate texture and a rich, earthy flavor that some describe as not unlike a fine steak. Morels are so prized that fresh specimens often command upwards of $50 a pound. Luckily, these gourmet fungi can be found in most wooded areas of the United States; they're also remarkably easy to identify, which makes morels a perfect choice for the beginning mushroom hunter.
