Our First Mushroom Hunt

Spurred on by the imperiative, "Go and subdue the earth" and by the reports that our neighbor once found some morel mushrooms on her property, we took off Saturday afternoon and went hunting.

We walked all around our property and found some nice Artist's Mushrooms but no morels.

But then, yesterday my dh went out by himself and he found two of them fairly close to the house.    As you can see, they are hard to spot in all those dead leaves.

We're going out again today to see if we can find some more.

Morel mushroom hunting was a favorite spring activity when I was growing up. We considered them a delicacy! Mom coated them in either flour or cracker crumbs and fried them. It seemed as though we found most of them growing around decaying wood. Happy hunting!
