Also this grew near some other plants In an apartment home community, could there be any problems with the soil it grows in ? In terms of like pesticides and stuff

Well, our morels look like normal morels, not some mutated alien brains, and grow in spring, a normal time for morels.

That's what I would do but I would add you should try it without salt/pepper to get a more "true" taste and then add that if you're not happy.
Mushrooms are pretty unpredictable but I always associated morels with the Spring. That's quite a cool find. Check for more!

In my case that's true enough. I found a tiny bunch of morels once but never in the UK.

I think salt and a bit of pepper bring out the true taste. I add more stuff once I know the flavor.
I am about to make some Tom Kha soup with a ton of Agaricus bisporus, wish me luck!
BTW this recipe rocks:

It was super difficult finding coconut milk without sugar in Mexico, but the stuff I got seems really good. Making it now!
There is no galangal here so I am using ginger instead. No kaffir lime leaves or fish sauce in Mexico City either, but that doesn't matter much.
I am cooking a triple batch, with a ton of shrimp and fish.

Let us know how it goes. Omnomnom.
Perhaps you should make a thread for yourself like Joust's The Hunt and Ganzig's Gallery.
Guero's Garage. lol

Beer. Very important for a Sunday afternoon cook.

That is quite a lot of ingredients.
Enjoy.

And so it begins!

I strongly urge everyone reading this to try the same recipe, but there are 2 things you have to watch out for:
1) Salt content
The chicken stock already has a ton of salt, so always taste it first before adding more. You can always add more salt, but never less. The last time I made this the caldo de pollo had a ton of salt and I ended up tripling the batch to bring it down to a reasonable level.
2) Chiles
The last time I made this, it was almost too hot. I really like hot foods so I thought it was awesome, not sure if all my friends agreed.
Other than that you can pretty much add any mushroom or other ingredient. The broth has so much flavor that you can even add yucky mushrooms like Suillus or Gomphidius and it will still taste awesome.

This recipe looks awesome. When I saw the chili garlic sauce, I was sold.
