Default Morel mushrooms....
Just like last year I found two....only in a different place in my yard.
What a big tease!! they are yummy but hardly a mouthful!! Thank goodness Mr.Alffe doesn't like them. I used to get huge puffballs on the other side of the barn but haven't have them in a couple of years.

What is the secret?? Or is it pure dumb luck to find any at all.

At first I thought you'd made an error in the title and called it Morel instead of More Mushrooms. LOL

I just went to google and looked up Morel Mushrooms. They... ummmmmmm... how to say this nicely... don't look very appetising to me.

My DH was just talking about them. He always goes out in the timber and looks around the base of dead trees. I love them and even though they are a pain to fix, we really pig out on them. We need a rain and then some bigtime heat and out they will pop!

Hmmm, I have a batch of mushrooms in my yard where an old tree used to be. They don't look like morels. I'll have to take a pic and post it here when they come back up. I mowed them over yesterday. lol

Sandy~ Morrels look like lt yellow or gray sponges on a stem. Don't eat anything w/o knowing what they are. And, don't smoke em either!!!

LOL I wont I promise! I honestly don't know what kind of mushrooms they are. I have them in my garden as well. I always heard where there are mushrooms, there is good soil so I am all set on that. As soon as they come back up I'll get a pic for you.

they aren't pretty as Lara pointed out but if you slice a morel horizontally, they have hollow stems. and you have to soak them for a bit in cold water before saute ing (can't spell) them in a little real butter....I cannot believe how much $$ they want for them at the Farmers Mkt.

Oh wow!!

Morel Mushrooms are just the best and the second thing I miss about the Midwest with first being family.

Our neighbors sold them for $25.00 a pound and always sold out.

We were lucky enough to have a woodsy back yard so picked our own.

I know my creep sister will call one of these days and say "guess what we had for dinner?"

Just because I call her and happen to mention our weather is wonderful and we are still in shorts and tank tops in October....
