云南特级特大羊肚菌

OK, I finally got around to trying the dried morels, and they are excellent. I soaked them in water very briefly, which is a sign of quality and recent drying. Then proceeded to make a lasagna. The taste had a nice earthiness, and the texture was soft but not mushy. So all-in-all, after the dried vs fresh surprise, I can say it's an excellent product. I also noted that the website has been update to reflect that it is freeze-dried. It's possible that it was all an oversight to begin with. But I'm super happy that the morels were as good as they were advertised! Excellent!

I saw MissA's mushrooms advertised on Instagram, so I was intrigued. I ordered the fresh Porcini from China and the XL Morels. The packaged just arrived and the Porcini look nice. However, to my surprise the Morels were dried. I checked the delivery note and it just says "Yunnan Premium XL Morel Mushrooms", nothing about them being dried. I checked the website description and nothing says dried. To be fair nor does it say fresh. I looked at all their mushroom offerings and all state a condition of fresh, dried or freeze dried - except the morels. Attached is a screenshot of the website description. I will give a follow-up review after I try them, but since they are dried, I am in no rush. Also, the storage guide says to keep them at 2°C to 8°C. Why would I need to do that if they are dried? Buyer beware.
