The native habitat of morel mushrooms is deep inside moist forests. These naturally occurring fungi make flavorful additions to salads and casseroles, or as a sauteed dish by themselves. The exact nutritional value of morel mushrooms depends on where they're harvested. Morel mushrooms contain fiber, and some protein, but additional nutritional value varies by location. Drying morel mushrooms is an effective way to preserve large quantities for up to three months.
