Morel of the Story

Try looking in the section labeled "Association with Wildfire" in this wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morchella

That should lead you to the correct "A-word"

Hmm, I'm wondering if maybe you found a code for another badge (it happens ALL THE TIME! Our catalog, as it turns out, is FULL of codes!)

Did you search for b*****?

It is! (Which is why I redacted your answer). Be sure you aren't searching with quotes around your answer, and remember it's not always found in the first item the search returns. It is within the first ten items, though! Give it another go!

Take a close look at the section labeled "Gastronomical Value and Culinary Uses" on this wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morchella
Make sure you're searching for both words (and plural), and don't search with quotes around your answer. Remember it's not always found in the first item the search returns. It is within the first ten items, though!

Did you use its two-word name (G.B.), no quotes around it? That should get you there. Double check you didn't try to SNEAK an "e" into the first word of its name; that's a common way it's misspelled! Your code is within the first ten results.

You are SO close! You want to search the adjective form of that word (A****ine) and leave out the word soil.

You'll find the answer you're looking for in this Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morchella
Look all the way under the "Gastronomical value and culinary uses" section for one of the simplest ways to prepare these mushrooms! (There are also some PUNNY hints in all-caps in the clue).

Hi there! You're SO CLOSE! That 9-letter word *IS* your code, so instead of searching for it in the catalog, you simply enter it in as a found code. Thanks for playing!
