Half-free Morel
A tier
Half-free morels have caps attached only halfway down the stem—still true morels, hollow, good edible though sometimes less prized than fully attached types. Flavour is pleasant nutty morel. Cook as morels; learn the attachment trait for ID. Valid spring eating. Clean and cook thoroughly.
