Oh yeah !! They're good too!mg:. you guys eat those things ? i dont know about that :huh::huh:
I'm not much of a mushroom person per-say, but I usually go and try and find a dozen or so morels every spring :yes:
I'm surprised they're popping up already
I usually go out about the 2nd & 3rd week of May. All this rain should really help with the sprouting thumbsup01Good eats :drool:

I wouldn't know how to tell the good ones from the bad ones...so I stay away from them....except for the ones in the stores lol
The simple answer is when you cut them in half the good ones are hollow all the way through. The bad ones have a cotton type substance in the middle. And last but not least stay away from the large red ones. You can also tell from the looks of the outside but if you are not familiar with them it will be hard to tell this way.
75 and thunderstorms tomorrow.....Hmmmmm guess where i'll be Wednesday, YEP getting some more. :clapping:

Roll em in cracker crumbs and pan fry to a toasty brown. Goes good with a mess of goggle-eyes. One of the joys of spring. Enjoy them friend.

Whoa!! Thats a haul!! Do you freeze them for the rest of the year? Also I was wondering what you use for a bag? I've seen some mesh ones. I don't know were to find one like that They say it's good to use a mesh bag so as you walk through the woods and the spoors are falling off the mushrooms you are redepositing the spoors throughout the woods. Therefore reseeding for the following year. :thinkingabout: :dontknow:

I have always used a Walmart bag. lol Been hunting this area for 25 years now and it is still producing nicely.
I've heard you can't find them until night time temps are warm but i remember when i was a kid my dad would always find some in March a full two weeks before people around here even go out. A few times there was snow on the ground when he found them. They were small ones but still good eating.
To me the best luck i've had is when you get a day or two with warm temps and thunderstorms like we had here last night. it was 73 at 5:00 and the temps dropped over night and never got over 50 today.
Mushrooms i believe are going to come up when they are going to come up. When it's that time it's that time. The more rain we get the more i find. Dry springs make for some off years for me. I don't find nearly as many.
