Title: Morel 'Shrooms
Post by: yoga-like_abana on April 24, 2017, 10:39:10 AM
I thought this was just something those damn hippies ate. I tried them for the first time at my hippy in laws and oh my gawd they're soo freaking good..
Looks like people hunt them :confused: Is this like the Appalachian outlaw type of stuff?

I've heard, it just seems silly to me.... Until I tried them  :love:
Would definitely pay someone to go "hunt" them for me though.

you can often buy them for $25-50/#.    Which is why many hunt them.

I thought this was an Iowa thing. I never heard of it until I moved here. In the five years I've been here not a week has gone by without someone asking me if I hunt them or if they can come onto my property to hunt them.

Yes, I've been told when Red Bud trees begin to bloom you go hunting for some shrooms. Also after a good rain.

i don't hunt but have several buddies who do.   It's all about the perfect combination of temp and moisture.    The season started late this year, and many were worried the heavy rain would cause problems.

One day they aren't there, and the next they are.

One time when I was fishing down by the Kansas River I came across this guy with a pillow case along a trail. He was all like "Hey man, any mushrooms down there?" and I was like "Nah, just catfish" and that was it.

Glad I could contribute to this thread.

Now what's the largest living organism on Earth? No, it's not a blue whale. It's a tree, a Quaking Aspen. That's right, a single Quaking Aspen in Utah covers 106 acres of land and is estimated to weigh more than 6,000 metric tonnes.Feb 1, 2013

Saute'd Morels in butter and chopped garlic :lick:. They are super hard to find here because you have to beat the deer to them. Deer love them and Emo needs to get to sniping off all the deer so us humans can have the Morels.

the thing is, the earlier thread was absolutely better.  In fact, I remember exactly where I was when I read it.

we've no doubt lost a step or two since those halcyon days.

Morel hunting is big here in WV as well. Some more tips about when/where: look for freshly dead trees (i forget what species atm) or ones that have burnt and been downed naturally. Morels will pop up like wildfire (no pun intended) after a fire in the woods.

Also, protip for ensuring they have the best chamce to come back next year: cut them at the base of the shroom, dont pull them out of the ground. Leaving the base/root almost guarantees a yearly crop. :thumbs:

They apparently feed off of dead tree roots. That about all I learned when I briefly thought about starting to look for them.

That seems like a good deal for you. I wouldn't want just two shrooms I'd need like a hundred to make it worth while
