mushroom hunting

[zara spook]

Just wondering if any of you guys hunt morel mushrooms.  I wanted to know if anyone has found any yet.  I went out Saturday and found 2 small ones but I fear the weather may be against me this year.

Last time I went mushroom hunting was in the 60's I got in big trouble after my best friends head melted  and the Lizards came out of his neck singing the Doors SOFT PARADE >>I kept calling the ER doctor Jerry b/c I thought he was Jerry Garcia

: I think you two above me were gathering a different kind of shrooms than Zara is hunting ;D

I am not in morel country right now Zara but they should be up . I used to get lots in NC . I hunted old apple orchards I would find them in the shaded areas in tall grass . When you find one in the woods look for what kind of trees are near it. And when ever you get in a stand of similar trees look aroud them.  I used to find lots near walnut trees in the woods .

Good Hunting they are mighty tasty

Too funny Mudman!!  Too funny!!  ;D

The sad part is that you're probably telling the truth.  Thank God you got past the stuff.

I've found a lot around elm trees and old apples myself but I am thinking it is still too cold in PA to find them.  I was just wondering if the temperature had anything to do with it or not.

I look forward to hunting them every year. Morrels are one of my favorite foods. I live in a mushroom paradise. They grow all around my woods. I have three acres and plenty of shrooms. Nothing better than a pan or venison tenderloin simmered with green peppers, red peppers and sweet onions along with morrels rolled in egg and flour and fried in butter, UMMMMMMM Goooooood.

I am a forester so I am in the woods about four days out of the work week.  I got to tell ya,  I see my fair share of mushrooms.  After the crazy weather we have been having I don't know about this year though.  We need a warm week of rain then sun for a few days and they may start popping out.  I hope so,  I sure like them. ;D

Zara you need few nights of 50 degrees and above so they come up  good
