Basics

Morel mushrooms belong to the same species as the truffle, but their appearance is quite different. Morel mushrooms range from tan to dark brown, they’re elongated, 2 to 4 inches long and have a cone-shaped cap covered in a honeycomb texture. Wild morels grow from April through June, depending on the region. You may find dried morel mushrooms in specialty stores throughout the year.

Vitamin D

The primary source of vitamin D is sunlight because exposure to ultraviolet light triggers a vitamin D-producing process in your skin. Vitamin D is not found in many foods, especially not in plant-based foods, but it is present in mushrooms. Morels are one of the highest mushroom sources, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. You must have an adequate amount of vitamin D for calcium to be absorbed and used properly. Vitamin D also helps regulate blood pressure and stimulates messenger cells in the immune system. One cup of raw morel mushrooms provides 22 percent of the recommended daily intake of vitamin D.

Vitamins B

The B vitamins function as coenzymes, which mean they activate enzymes that trigger biochemical reactions. One of the most important processes that rely on the presence of B vitamins is the conversion of food into energy. Two of the B vitamins -- niacin and vitamin B-6 -- may contribute to heart health. Vitamin B-6 removes a substance from the blood that’s associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular disease. Niacin lowers levels of cholesterol and triglyceride, according to the Linus Pauling Institute. One cup of morel mushrooms provides 8 percent of the recommended daily intake of vitamin B-6 and niacin and 11 percent of riboflavin.

Iron

In addition to carrying oxygen, iron stores oxygen and senses when its levels are low. Several enzymes depend on iron to complete their biochemical processes. Iron is needed for some antioxidants, the production of genetic material essential for growth and healing and the creation of energy. Men gain 100 percent of their recommended daily intake for iron from 1 cup of raw morel mushrooms, while women get 44 percent of their daily value.

Considerations

Wild morel mushrooms must be properly identified to be sure they're safe to eat. Mushrooms known as "false morels" resemble the real morels but their caps are round and they're poisonous. If you're not experienced, don't hunt for mushrooms without first obtaining some instruction. Mushroom-hunting clubs, mycological organizations, botanical schools and some community colleges offer mushroom-identification classes and guided forays that send an experienced expert with a group of novice mushroom hunters to teach identification techniques. Never eat morel mushrooms raw. Cooking eliminates substances that may make you sick. Edible morel mushrooms can cause allergic reactions, so if you’ve never had them before, eat a small amount and wait several hours before eating more. Use morels as you would any other mushroom, but remember their flavor is stronger and stands on its own better than other mushrooms such as the white button varieties.
