Are the Half Free Morel's edible?

Hillbilly:
Supposed to be but I've never tried 'em. No morels here yet. >:( Maybe next weekend.
stickbender:
Hmmm, with "suposed to be edible", I will pass em by. ;) I do want to try the Morels though. I have read stories in the outdoor mags, about how good they are. Thanks.
TRACY:
We eat them(half morel) and they have the same taste as the black, grey and yellow morels. Usually just take the caps and add them to dishes since they are a bit crumbly and dry out quick. I've never called them half morels and they are usually referred to as anatomical male parts around here, take your pick ;D I've seen the dried morels at the grocery store and are not as expensive as the seasonally fresh. I know that at Michigan State University years ago, they developed a way to produce them in a controlled environment. I still haven't found any on my property in So. IN, but it is time to find them.

Hello!
Mushrooms are just beginning to pop up here. The next couple of weeks should be prime time.
Have any of you ever frozen your mushrooms for later in the year? A very easy way to do it, is to clean and slice them lengthwise. Do NOT cook them yet. Place the sliced halves on a cookie sheet, place in freezer. When frozen, place them in an air tight freezer bag or container; and place back into freezer. When you want to eat them, just remove them; and cook them however you normally do. I just roll them in flour and place in a skillet while still frozen. They taste very good, especially when the season is long past.
