Elfin Saddle & Blewits
    #6400154 - 12/23/06 07:15 PM (17 years, 3 months ago)

Ive recently found and confirmed the Elfin Saddle(The false Morel). Other than para boiling/blanching or drying....how should i prepare them for the table? The taste is said to be very like the true Morel.
I have also found some Blewits but other than that i cant narrow them down...anyone point me towards a good resource on Blewits?
My Blewit Description:
Cap: Brown to Buff, around 4inches across, plane for most part and the edges were slightly in-curved.
Gills: Purple/Lilac to white when dry, Close not to crowded
Stipe: 3-4 inches tall, slightly bulbous, tinged with Purple/lilac
Spores: Appear to be White.
Habitat: wood-chips/ rhododendrons/ shrubs
Any Guess? OR just a GOOd resource?

Holy dog shit! Texas? Only steers and queers come from Texas, Private Cowboy. And you don't look much like a steer to me so that kinda narrows it down. Do you suck dicks?

False Morels are not recommended for eating regardless of preparation method. There are numerous problems with them. First, even according to professionals, they are extremely difficult to identify accurately to species. Second, the primary toxin is volatile, so you can be poisoned while parboiling them without even eating them, just by inhaling near them. Third, the toxin shows no symptoms until you are close to a lethal dose, so the is little or no warning. Fourth, it takes days for the toxin to be removed from your body by your liver, and even small amounts can then poison you on a later day. Fifth, in many of the false morels there are also other toxins that are strong carcinogens.

Those are just off the top of my head. The only positive I have is that, fortunately, fatalities are rare from them. There are too many good edible mushrooms around to need to bother with eating potentially lethal ones.


There are 2 things you should verify on your possible Blewits (other than what you've describe so far). First, look carefully at the stem and verify that there is no ring, veil, or volva. Second, do a spore print on white paper - it should come out a pale pinkish tan. If you can verify those 2 things, then you have Blewits.

Happy mushrooming!

I know that it contains rocket fuel.....but there seams to be much debate and confusion over the Black Elfin Saddle. Most say is edible, others argue about the toxins. I'm unsure i probably wont eat them. I didn't eat a Shaggy parasol this year either for the same reason. Any one with any personal experience with this mushroom?

I would listen to what ToxicMan had to say.

Definately do not eat any fake Morels.
