This study was carried out to analysis the composition of fruit body of Morchella esculenta (MEF) to determine the possibility of medical and edible use. The nutritional compositions of MEF were as follows ; The contnt (g%) of crude fat, carbohydrate, crude protein were 3.8, 43.5 and 29.7, respectively. Potassium concentration in MEF was high up to 3558.0 mg% and Ca, Mg, Fe, Na and Zn were followed. There were 23 amino acids in MEF. The content of glutamic acid was high up to 1433.0 mg% and leucine, alanine, arginine valine and theronine were followed. Since MEF contains 25 free amino acids, it will be a favorable food stuff. The content of Vitamin A, Vitamin B₁, Vitamin B₂, Vitamin B6, Vitamin C, Vitamin D₃, Vitamin E and Vitamin K₁ were 2.23 μg%, 0.13 mg%, 0.07 mg%, 0.27 mg%, 0.17 mg%, 52.27 μg%, 5.26 mg% and 3.23 μg%, respectively. MEF will have a good anti-aging effect due to content of Vitamin C and Vitamin E.
