Anyone else hunt morel mushrooms in the spring? I just started picking some up yesterday. For those of you who don't understand the Morel mushroom is delectable delight that only grows in the forrest for a few short weeks in the spring. I live in central Indiana and have hunted these babies since I was a wee lad. Most people bread and fry these mushrooms and they are quite tasty. Others hunt them and sell them to the public for the outrageous price of $20 a pound. I was just wondering if anyone else out there enjoys looking for these mushrooms. I just dig walking in the woods in the spring and looking at everything coming to life, if I find any mushrooms thats just icing on the cake.

I've never been mushroom hunting but out in the mountains around this time of the year we would always go out for ramps, they're like the love child of onion and garlic....mmmmm....but if you eat too many you will start to smell like you have been bathing with them...not so mmmm haha....I like em but it was always more about just finding them, I would usually keep a few and give the rest to other people

^^^ lol I didn't...but I know what mushrooms are, and I assume you hunt them like you would any other plant life....arethey a special type of mushroom or something, I mean are they buried like truffles orsomething?
No they grow above the ground just about anywhere in the woods. You just have to know where to look. Check out this website it will tell you all about it.

I found 5 of these morels this week and had no idea what they were! They looked like something special, so I picked them and laid them under a tree to dry. Earlier today, I was in Borders and saw a book with one on these on the cover and knew that's what I had.
Now this. I've been reading that website, www.thegreatmorel.com, for over an hour. Sounds like people are as obsessed about morels as I am about Bonnaroo.
My family and I had several plates of our favorite shrooms this evening. It seems as if it is going to be a great season I have picked up several every time I have gone out. I have to spend the week in Atlanta on business so I won't be doing any hunting this week. With the season so short I hate missing time in the woods. I will keep everyone posted on my happy hunting during the season.
My dad took me morel hunting for the first time last year, I can't wait to get out again in a week or two! Very tasty fried up and served on the side of a nice grilled t-bone! Be careful, though, as my dad got extremely sick from eating a "false morel" that looks alot like the edible kind. Thanks for the link meatman, "thegreatmorel.com," they had some info on the fakies: False morels differ from true morels in two obvious ways:
The cap surface has lobes, folds, flaps or wrinkles, but it does not have pits and ridges like a true morel. You might say their caps bulge outward instead of being pitted inward.
The bottom edge of the cap of a false morel hangs free around the stem, like a skirt. On true morels, the bottom edge of the cap is attached to the stem (see page 4).
My dad ate some where the bottom edge wasn't connected, bad bad times. Be on the lookout and happy hunting!
This word also has a underground meaning once you break it down. Let’s take “Bonn” for example and it actually turns into the word “Bone”. We all know gays use this word to describe the action of when they are fecal fisting their Cuban cabana boy at their sex bath house parties. Now let’s look at Roo, “Roo” is short for “Kangaroo”.So put the full true message together and you get“Bone a Kangaroo

Stanky McNasty Smells of bar & bad decisions
Constantly choosing the lesser of two evils is still choosing evil.
