Recently news headlines are awash with reports of an illness outbreak associated with Morel mushrooms. Morel mushrooms are a very popular spring mushroom with millions of people taking to the woods every year to forage the delicacy. In Montana last year there were reports of multiple people becoming ill after consuming the mushroom at a Bozeman sushi restaurant. However it's not as the news headlines would have you believe. This particular sushi restaurant was investigated and several violations of food safety were found, along with improper preparation of Morel mushrooms. They were found to be basically serving the mushrooms raw, instead of cooking them. Cooking your morels is an important step to break down the chitin and other compounds that can cause illness. I wanted to take a look at this issue as Morel season is underway in the U.S. and people are seeing these reports and becoming scared. There is no reason to panic, Morels are totally safe to consume if you prepare them properly.
