MORILLAS, also known as morels, are a type of edible mushroom belonging to the genus Morchella. They are highly sought after for their unique flavor and texture, often used in gourmet cooking. Morels have a distinctive honeycomb appearance, with a conical cap and a hollow stem, making them easily recognizable. These mushrooms typically grow in wooded areas during the spring months, often near ash, elm, or apple trees. Foraging for morillas can be a popular activity among mushroom enthusiasts, but it's essential to correctly identify them, as some look-alikes can be toxic.
