This is somewhere else on the recipe share, but I decided to add it here for convenience:

Oneida Sauteed Morels
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1/2 pound fresh morels, or a combination of morels and other wild mushrooms

3 T. butter, hazelnut oil, or bacon drippings

2 green onions, thinly sliced

Salt and pepper to taste

Slice morels into thin strips.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add morels and green onions.
Saute' for about 1 minute.
Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.

Serves 4 to 6.

Note: Water is the enemy of mushrooms, so it is best to avoid immersing them if possible.
Use a soft mushroom brush or damp paper towel to wipe any dirt from the mushroom.  Slit mushroom down one side and if necessary wipe out the inside.  If they are very sandy, rinse them in several changes of cold water and carefully pat dry.

Enjoy!
