The first morel of the season is always the hardest one to find.
I've been searching for this tasty morsel for just over two weeks and I finally found it today.
I found another four smaller morels in the same area but I want to find more. Many, many more.
One season, about eight years ago, we found over ten pounds of morels on our property. I would love to end the 100 meter diet with 10 pounds of morels. It could happen .... and if it does I'lll be in heaven!
We're going to have wet, rainy weather for the next week or so. I'm crossing my fingers that all the rain makes the mushrooms explode all over the place.
Morel mushrooms are worth their weight in gold around our house. Everybody loves them. If you've never tried morels before you are really missing something special. In Ontario, May is the month for morels. They're hard to find but you could get lucky and find someone selling them at your local farmers market. It's worth a try.
Mmmmm. Morels.
I've only had them ONCE but I still remember how very, very good they are! envy you!
