ketchenany Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 Love to try those, can you shed some light on what kind of area they grow in? Not your spot just what to look for, we have a lot of woods that I can access. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherman Posted May 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 Ya, no problem but, so far I would honestly have to say that hardwood forests are slightly better than coniferous. Some swear that pine woods are better, some the other. My best so far is around maple with rotting wood/leaves etc on the ground with good shade. Ditches in some areas close to apple orchards can be good too. These mushrooms, "morrels" are about as easily to identify as coil of dog poop on your lawn, no mistaking them. Check the link for some others such as giant puffballs and shaggy manes. Here: http://www.mdc.mo.gov/nathis/mushrooms/mushroom/edible.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ehg Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 Thats some nice looking yellow morels. Usually i'll find morels in last week of April or first week of May, i think they are a couple weeks behind even here, i'll go take a look outside Toronto might still be some with this cool wet weather. That's good food and 'organic' as well. ehg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Cliff Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 Thank you very much for that link Fisherman, really helpful! If you ever get some fresh puff balls in the fall, try dehydrating them. Just cut them into slices about 1/2" thick and put them in your dehydrator for about 1-2 days. They will keep for years and make a wonderful addition to sauces, soups, and stews.

Fisherman Posted May 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 You're most welcome Big Cliff, I may have to get a dehydrator one of these days, just for that and fruits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
