Place halved mushrooms in a large bowl; cover with cold, lightly salted water. Refrigerate mushrooms for about 5 minutes to loosen dirt. Pour off salted water, rinse, and repeat two more times. Then, thoroughly rinse a final time; drain on a paper towel lined platter. (The crevices of the mushrooms could harbor tiny stones or insects.)
Place flour in a shallow bowl or a large platter.
Heat vegetable shortening in a large skillet until very hot.
Roll mushrooms in flour; tap off excess; gently place mushrooms in the hot shortening.
Fry until golden brown and flour coating is crisp, 5 - 8 minutes, turning often.
Drain morels on a paper towel lined platter. Salt to taste.
