After a few years of scratching our heads and wondering what set apart locations with abundant morels and locations that appeared perfect where none appeared, we think we have cracked the Morchella australiana code (see our full Australian morel species guide). To test that hypothesis we set out on an exercise walk within our 5km area in lockdown and proved our contention.
And I must say when people in the past said that these mushrooms were superbly tasty I now know just how amazing their flavour can be – well worth the effort and expensive asking price. Id argue the best mushroom species available wild picked in Victoria hands down.
We now have some amazing and prolific locations for this species.
