    Thanks for the thrill of the hunt. My daddy took me mushroom hunting when I was knee high to a grasshopper. I'm 58 now. I don't understand why I get such a high off of hunting and finding mushrooms.
    I can't hike no more , so thanks for the high of the hunt !!!

    "I see one, then they all appear" lol that is so true with mushroom hunting. I've stood in a spot and scanned like crazy, and never see a single shroom. Then you manage to spot one, and your eyes just suddenly train themselves to see them. Suddenly, morels everywhere

    Thanks so much for the tips❣️ I especially appreciated the tip about the lilacs being in full bloom. I've been apart of the Mycology society and the morels are the one mushroom that they seem not to show us spots. I went out a few times looking this year. But unfortunately it's been pretty dry in Colorado this year. You are very fortunate to have someone take you to their spot, this isn't something mushroom pickers do very often.

    Thank you! That looked both fun and delicious! It gave me ‘shroomin’ fever. I enjoy picking them, almost as much as I love eating them. They’re just ain’t much better eating than frying up a mess of lightly breaded Morels. I’ve been hunting then since I was a really young child with my Mom, Dad, brothers and sisters. We used to find shopping bags full but for the last several years they have become more scarce. Lots of the land nearby is now posted or sold for development. I have the best memories hunting them, with my family and later on with my nieces and nephews. I get morel fever every year beginning in late February, as I know it’s probably only a month away from then to begin watching for signs.
    After I slice and wash them, I roll mine in flour (salt & peppered to taste) and fry them up golden brown. I’m going to try a few nekkid in butter, like cooked above. 😋 Yummy!
