What does MOREL mean in Scrabble?
noun
botany
An edible mushroom with a brown, honeycomb-like cap, prized by cooks for its rich flavour.
A morel pushes up through leaf litter in spring, and its cap looks pitted and spongy rather than smooth, which lets foragers tell it apart from most other mushrooms at a glance. Because it cannot easily be farmed in large numbers, a wild morel commands a high price at market and is treated as a seasonal delicacy rather than an everyday ingredient. Cooks always cook a morel thoroughly, since it is mildly toxic when raw.
How MOREL is used
