Yellow Morel
S tier
Yellow morels are blonde to yellow-tan honeycombed spring mushrooms—rich flavour, hollow structure, top wild prices. Colour class spans multiple related Morchella species in modern taxonomy. Clean carefully (salt soak debates rage); cook in butter. Pair with asparagus and soft eggs. Short season defines urgency.
