Morels

[Awk08]

found a few myself this morning, all together in one low lying damp spot
thanx to dirty for inspiring us to be on the lookout for them

threw a bill down beside them to show their size

 

[jus_me]

Nice find Awk.. Im going looking again today, grabbing the fishing poles now and heading out. With the recant rain and warm temps I hope they pop up.. I also want to thank Dirty for letting us in on these..

 

[dirtysquared]

No problem guys. I'm heading back out in a few myself. I was on quite a few earlier, it started dumping rain, and I had to take my Dad to pick up his car.

I got my Gore-tex on, Glock cocked, and a few empty bags....should be a fun one!

 

[dirtysquared]

Awk, the one I circled is a little blonde one, go back where it was in a few days, and I bet you'll find more. Your on them for sure. Those other Black ones are usually the first to pop up. So it just getting started for you in J-town.

 

[dirtysquared]

Found a few nice ones, and a new patch this afternoon. I'm finding all these at about the same elevation on this hillside. These were all by Elm Tree's.

Are they actually a mushroom or an edible fungi?

 

[Awk08]

are those all "blondes" ? and mine were all "blacks" except the little one.

No changing color with age...they are different species. The ones I found are blonde or greys.

Are they actually a mushroom or an edible fungi?

I'm pretty sure that they are a mushroom.

i was hungry for sausage sammiches so i grabbed a pack of uncle charlies on the way home,
saw the morels in the fridge and got a little creative

sweet sausage chunks and morels over noodles in a sour cream stroganoff sauce

found in the woods, was so good it gave me wood !

 

[Blaaster]

I wish there was SmelliNet.

That is a really small Snag, about half the length of our Widows memories.

looks tasty awk wish we had em here me and my oldest love the shrooms

 

[dirtysquared]

That looks yummy. Fire a beer or 3 down with that, great meal!

 

[Herpderplol]

Im starting to think this is a contest of the biggest bill by your pile of shrooms

They look cool, but i dont think i would care to eat one

 

[Blaaster]

Man am I looking forward to downing some Morels, my passport just got approved and if I can book the flights to be there by July 4th you better have some on a plate for the Lad and I.

Finaly found some. Made my day!!!

Awesome! Are these the first ones you ever found?

 

[jus_me]

Yes, first ones ever.. They have a good smell to them imo.. And I swear I could smell them right before I found them.. Something beat me to most of them a bunch of them were dug up, squirrel maybe? I have no idea..

 

[dirtysquared]

I don't know what else eats them other than me and Awk..lol. possibly a squirel or something. How do you plan on cooking them?

 

[Blaaster]

Do you have any wild pigs in your area, I Googled and found that they like them and mess the ground up when digging them.

 

[jus_me]

No pigs around here. I wish there were, I always wanted to go pig huntin.. As far as cooking them I am not sure yet. I am going to look up some recipes.. Any good ideas? I am going looking again later today after work to try and get some more to make morel of a meal..
