The Morel is a prized Spring mushroom and one of the rarer finds of the season. In the wild it grows mainly in the Secret Woods, so most farmers see it only after upgrading to a Steel Axe. It sells for a high price for forage. It is also one of the four mushrooms in Life Elixir and the second ingredient of Fried Mushroom. The Exotic Foraging Bundle accepts it, and a mushroom cave or a Mushroom Log can supply it outside Spring.
Location
Morels grow wild in the Secret Woods during Spring. The woods sit in the northwest corner of Cindersap Forest, behind a Large Log that only a Steel Axe or better can break. The woods also hold slimes, so a weapon is useful on the way in.
On the Forest Farm, Morels spawn among the farm's own forage in Spring.
The Farm Cave is the most reliable source. When Demetrius offers his choice, picking mushrooms fills the cave with mushroom boxes. A Morel is one of the rarer results, but the boxes produce it in every season.
A Mushroom Log on the farm can grow Morels too.
Prices
A raw Morel sells for a good price, well above the common Spring forage. A Preserves Jar turns it into pickles worth more than twice as much. A Dehydrator can dry it as well.
Because it is rare and pricey, a Morel is often better saved for Life Elixir or the bundle than sold right away.
Uses
The Exotic Foraging Bundle in the Crafts Room accepts a Morel as one of its options. The bundle needs five items from a longer list, and a Morel from the Secret Woods is an easy early pick.
Cooking a Morel with a Common Mushroom and Oil makes Fried Mushroom. Demetrius mails the recipe after three hearts of friendship. The dish gives a short boost to Attack.
Cooking a Morel with a Chanterelle, a Red Mushroom and a Purple Mushroom makes Life Elixir. The recipe unlocks at Combat level 2. Life Elixir restores health to full, which makes it a strong emergency item for deep mining runs.
In tailoring, a Morel in the Sewing Machine makes the Morel Shirt, a shirt printed with the mushroom itself. A Morel also counts as an orange dye in the dye pots at Emily and Haley's house.

Gifts
Harvey, Leah, Linus and Maru like Morels.
Caroline, the Dwarf, Elliott, Haley, Jas, Jodi, Krobus, Pierre, Sam, Sebastian, Shane, Vincent, Willy and the Wizard dislike them.
Leo hates them.
A Morel is too valuable to spend as a liked gift. Common Mushrooms or other cheap forage please Harvey, Leah and Linus just as well.
Notes
Eating a raw Morel restores only a little energy and health for its price. Selling it or cooking it is the better use.
When choosing between mushrooms and fruit bats for the Farm Cave, the Morel is one reason to pick mushrooms. It is one of the hardest Life Elixir ingredients to find in the wild.
