Challenge: How were your "Morels" this year?

I found these in south central Indiana. The largest was about 4" They were very tasty! They are Morel Mushrooms, found in the woods. They sold at the grocery for up to $50 per pound this year!

We can't wait to hunt for them every April. They have a short growing season. You lightly flour and saute in butter. Yummy!

You do have to know what you are picking, but most of us grew up hunting them. There are some poisonous ones..

I ate a False Morel last year and suffered every symptom listed on the Internet except death.

My brother and uncle always hunted them up in the spring. I always thought that like most mushrooms, it's how you cook them that makes them tasty. Left to their own devices, they all taste like damp woods. But Mother fried them up and everyone thought them wonderful! :mrgreen: :thumbup: :thumbup:

I am glad someone knows bad fungus from good fungus. I know a lady who is doing a photo project of mushrooms, studio shots and in the forest shots.

Morels and fresh asparagus are two of the best things about spring.
I liked all your shots, but the last one was best. I liked that you got some of it's surroundings in the pic. It reminded me how great it is to just get away from everything out in the woods in the spring when mushrooms pop.
Do you know what that flower is?
Any of you who like shooting flowers and plants would love just wandering in the woods in any midwest state in April. Lots of beauty right in our "backyard."

Those are great photos of a highly sought mushroom. I am so envious. The last couple years I didn't find any, this year decided not to hunt and wouldn't you know it...record finds this year. My family always dipped them in an egg wash, then cracker crumbs and fried till golden brown. Nothing else on earth is as delicous.
