**Morel Mushrooms Overview**
**Description**
- **Appearance**: Cone-shaped caps with pitted, honeycomb-like textures (colors range from black, yellow, to gray). Hollow stems.
- **Habitat**: Grow in moist woodlands, burned areas, and near hardwood trees (ash, elm, sycamore). They fruit in spring when soil temperatures reach 45–55°F.
- **Caution**: Avoid toxic lookalikes like false morels (*Gyromitra* spp.), which have wrinkled caps and solid stems. Always confirm identification before consumption.

**Medicinal Value**
Morels are nutrient-dense and linked to several health benefits:
- **Antioxidants**: Combat oxidative stress, reducing chronic disease risk.
- **Immune Support**: Polysaccharides enhance immune function and reduce inflammation.
- **Vitamin D**: High levels aid bone health and immunity.
- **Minerals**: Rich in iron (supports blood health), copper, and potassium.
- **Liver Protection**: Extracts show hepatoprotective properties in studies.
- **Antimicrobial**: Compounds inhibit harmful bacteria and fungi.
