I am filled with jealousy. Lowes should try to market their wood chips this way. =P

We usually get a few morels every year popping up somewhere in the yard. Generally they like a good freeze. This year we didn’t have a freeze, never had to cover the lemon trees, and therefore no morels. For years my dad just mowed them down, until I told him they were $25 a pound. Now I have neighbors bringing over the ones they find in their yards.

We have tons of morels in Michigan. I remember hunting them in the woods next to my Grandmother’s place when I was a kid. Back then I didn’t like mushrooms, so I always turned up my nose at them.

Luckily, I got smarter as I got older.

I think it’s about time something came to us. Now I’d like a nice fat tom turkey to strut into our back yard. Maybe that’s greedy, though. Maybe we should settle for the neighbors’ peacocks…

I’ve heard that – and “thankfully,” I have found two morels that are past their prime I did not mention; hopefully they will send out spores. As for the beauty pictured. I will do the “shake thing”…

Easy now Hank. Take your time with those things. If you keep snipping them as they emerge, there’s probably a very low probability you’ll ever get a second crop. I know it’s debatable, but some of the morel hunters I’ve met swear by turning their mushrooms on end and tapping them to drop the spores inside. Others think that is a bunch of bull, but don’t sell yourself short – give ‘em a chance. You are a lucky, lucky man.

All in good time. Stay tuned for a day or so…
