Got a couple of bags filled today... what a wonderful spring treat. Lilacs here signal both the crappie spawn and the morel season. Tough to choose between them so I try to find time for both. Was on Mack the spring following the big burn, and yes, the morels were THICK. I've wondered if that continues for several springs after a burn, or if it's more of a one-time thing... ?

I was wandering on the forest preserve behind the campus and decided to trek off the beaten path and kept my eyes to the ground.  After no more than 10 minutes I stumbled upon my first gem of the season, after about 45 minutes my khakis were full!!!! Grin  I went strait home and grabbed a bag and went out and ended up with another half a grocery bag before the sun went down.  This is the first time I have stumbled upon such a large take and this was only a 40 acer area. I had found a few of these delectable treats when I was hiking before but WOW!  I had one hell of a great dinner of simple fry (flour and butter) a few hours ago and I am definitely going back out tomorrow,  I would definitely advise anyone in southern Wisconsin to keep your eyes peeled.

"Moral Mushrooms"

Smiley
That's when you don't take every Morel you find, share the morel's you do take, and then scatter the raw remnants in the woods!

Wink

Grilled, stuffed, lightly floured, added to pork and lightly browned gravy... ahh the choices...

Twice this spring to the same spot, not 50 yards in diameter, not 50 yards from the end of the main trail. A sack full of the captivatingly scented 'honeycombs" 90% over 6 inches long and lungs full of fresh air.

Life is good

I'm from St Louis, and hunt morels every spring.  We get them about mid to late  April.  About what dates do you find them in the northern part of the country?  I don't get up there until mid June. Smiley

In Wisconsin we usually find the "dryland fish" in April...during Turkey season.

I don't even LIKE morel mushrooms (yes, I know it is terrible to make that statement when you live in mushroom country!) but I can't tell you how it lifted my spirits to read the words "when the lilac bushes first start to bloom."

Ah, spring!  The best time of year!  Just thinking about it. . . . .

Sorry to be off-topic.  Just a "spring fever" moment in frigid January.   Roll Eyes
