Do they taste like some fungus you found while poking around out in the forest?

I wish I could describe the flavor, but I can't. I now know why people are crazy about them and won't tell their pick sites to anyone.

Morel's don't really have any recognizable flavors. If I had to describe it abstractly I'd say drink a small glass of warm milk through a dirty straw made from bark.


BUT! You add a bit of salted butter and beef or chicken stock and shazam, complex flavors with an interesting texture!

Don't pick yellows, they suck. Grey all the way.

Are you crazy? Yellows are like a piece of steak..they taste like nothing else in this world.
Now, my least favorite are the dog peckers..or woods mushrooms..but if that's all there is, I will be frying them up.

Morels and Shaggy Manes are the 2 easiset to spot and safest to consume of all wild 'shrooms.

They each have a 'false' version which is supposed to look like them (not REALLY but there is a resemblance) and neither is a poison.


Base of white pines is where I find mine. Some years just scraping away a few years deposit of needles will make the spores burst through.


peace

Western MO. Had plenty of rain, cool nights and warm days. I was told that's a good combo for morels (although it's still a bit early)

I hope this year is a better year than last year for morels around here. Last year was horrible.

Two years ago we found so many I almost felt bad for taking them all. I still have a bit of dried ones from then that I will add to eggs or make a sauce with.

Best mushrooms ever!
