For those folks that aren't in the least bit woodsy, or even mildly interested in the great outdoors, please don't give up on this blog!! One of my hopes is to take those on the fringe and draw them into at least an appreciation and at best a love and fascination for all that God has created. Even for the trodden down, and oft disgraced - "Fungus that's among us".
Yes, I speak of the ever elusive little morsel of gold that is the Morel Mushroom. It is a culinary delight that has been ranked right up there with finest fillet mignon, the richest of chocolates, and the king of caviar's. A fleeting moment in life where the finest chefs in France agree with the most backwoods, overall wearing, tobacco spittin' grannies. A batch of morel's sauteed in butter is about as good as it gets. At a price ranging from $15-$25 a pound even the market agrees.
The problem is that these little morsels of goodness are as fleeting as the aforementioned agreement. I dare not get into the elaborate detail and folklore surrounding the ability to locate these fungi, I'll just let your fingers do the walking. I only wanted to put a bug in your ear that this weekends potential rain and following warm up could provide a scenario that results in a bountiful crop.
My best advice is to look for a valley full of Zaccheus Tree's and if you find some Morel's go show em to your Grandma or Grandpa first, to make sure they are legit, or give me a call, and we'll go from there.
Until Next Time..
