these little spring shrooms are the best eating you ever had, they pop up around late may and only show for a few weeks depending on the weather, the wetter the better, i used to pick them as a kid in michigan, and have found them in wyoming as well, its a big part of our spring, outdoor events.

Crappie fishing and morel shrooms were the best part of ice out in Nebraska! When the violets were in bloom the morel was out ! I had found them as early as Feb! You had to get to them before the deer hit them!

OUTSTANDING!

I'm curious. If you don't like morel mushrooms, isn't that considered "immorel"?

went looking for some morels to bring to the outing, it got too dry to fast, looks like the season is over till next spring, sorry

So I don't get it...are these things really that good? I'm not a huge shroom fan, best I can tolerate is shrooms and black olives on a nice slice of neopolitan from Penn Station NYC (Don Pepi's, you're my hero!) . So whats the big deal?

they dont taste anything like the ones you get from the store, hard to explain the morels flavor, but since im not bringing any, i dont have too

its just something you need to try and taste for yourself, they are indeed delish

you can get dehydrated ones from stores, but they dont do the morel any justice, fresh is the best.....maybe next year i will bring ya up some
