Seasoned_Warrior - you had some great ideas about Mushrooms.  I would really like to more about mushrooms (the edible kind).  I am only proficient with Morels.  I fact, for our May trip to the BWCA we have some freshly picked Morels I just harvested in my secret place :-) down here in Northfield ready to take with for a gourmet meal.  Do you or anyone else out there have any favorite recipes you could share for batter and frying techniques for Morels.  Is it true you can freeze Morels with minimal damage?  How long will the keep on a trip before you better watch out?
