Hopefully someone can help me out here. I was fortunate enough to find a large amount of morels this year. However, unfortunately I believe the largest portion of what I found is now ruined. I cleaned them up, let most of the water drain from them, then froze them separately on plates so they would not stick/freeze together in a clump before putting them into bags for a deep freeze. Everything seemed to work really well. Now as I pull them from the freezer and allow them to de-thaw, they basically rot as they are de-thawing. Once thawed out, they stink, and look like wilted lettuce. I still tried to batter and fry them up, tasting one, being the equivalent to eating a turd!
Last year I froze a batch the exact same way. Only difference was frying them halfway through before freezing, then thawed them out when I wanted to eat them and finished frying them the rest of the way. They tasted as if I picked them that morning and fried em up.
Has anyone ever froze them like I did this year? If so, how did you de-thaw them in a way that made it edible for human conception? I absolutely love eating fried morels and would HATE to waste/throw away all of these. Please somebody have a promising answer for me.
