Mushroom Hunting

[CNS]

morels are pretty distinct looking, not sure why people have trouble telling them apart.

Yeah.  they feel extraordinarily different in your hand too.  The false morels are extremely dense feeling while the morels feel light as air. 

My dad pulled three big false morels yesterday to show my kids.  They are big and very dense.

I can see why someone may mistake the smaller ones with an older morel if they didn't know much about them.  The older morels that get a little dried on top can darken to look pretty similar to the false ones.

mushroom hunting.  oh boy.  what's next, corn hunting?  potato chip hunting?  hey boys, who's hungry?  i'm going to head down to the farm pond and sit in my blind and hope a cheeseburger comes flying in.  yum, yup, let's go hunt us up some gatorade, i'm thirsty!

If anyone in the KC area finds some, I will pay you really good money for them.

I'm going to find tons of them when I go fishing and sell them all to pete to buy new fishing gear.

What is the going rate for a morel these days?

Check craigs list, but they can go very high.

why go out looking for them if you can buy them from some one else?  is it the thrill of the hunt?  if so, seems weird to hunt for something that can't move and doesn't even have a brain.

Did you ever see Adaptation?

My buddy ate mushrooms once. He said he talked to a coyote and it told him to buy a lot of Asian stuff for his place. To this day, we can't walk past an asian shop. Sounds dangerous you guys.

[pissclams]

hey boys, i almost forgot, do i need my hunter's safety certificate to go mushroom hunting?  hmm, yum.  can't wait to go hunting for some shrooms and then saute them and eat them like any hunter does.

no, just kidding boys, i always practice catch and release.

don't forget to wear your camo!  wouldn't want to scare them off.

The Feng Shui Coyote would be a fantastic Asian restaurant name.

yup, got to camo it up when you're out huntin' mushrooms.  also a good idea to spray fox urine all over yourself so that the mushrooms can't smell you comin'

Pretty noob 'room hunting advice.  Morels have an awful sense of smell.

[Mr Bread]

I cannot wait for 'clams to get mauled by a wild mushroom or maybe to get picked by some fellow mushroom hunters because he forgot to wear some blaze orange with his camo.  'clams'll be in the bottom of some guy's mushroom sack and will be all "what do I do now!?" omg

When I go shroom hunting I skip the fox urine and just cover myself with cow crap to attract the mushrooms to me with a smell they prefer. With enough patience, they might even start growing on you. The only downside really is that you have to cover yourself with cow crap. Other than that, it works great and I would recommend it to all serious mushroom hunters.

Don't worry guys, I got this. 

First two chapters are over hunter safety and appropriate camo.

Since mushrooms typically go for upwards of $4000 / pound, I can understand why people (poors?) might hunt them.

My point exactly. You would only need to produce 250 pounds of mushrooms to sell them for $1 million. Why don't these mushroom hunters grow a brain and get into the fungiculture business?

if you can figure out how to farm morels, those millions will be yours.

and the bartender says "hey beaver. you, porcupine and turtle didn't just go mushroom hunting did you"?
"why yes we did" said the beaver "how did you know"
the bartender looked up and said "you just looked a a group of fun guys to me"

A lot of meth heads hunt morels then sell them for cash then they buy more meth, then they go hunt some more which they sell for cash then buy more meth, and so on and so on
