2016 Morels

[Dangdar]

If we get a good rain like they are predicting the odds of finding them go way up. We've had good luck on sandy soil (aka river banks that have decaying wood). Just my two cents.

^^^^^ I know some guys who eat reds too with no issues as well, and are the only variety of false I've seen around here, and only twice at that.

I don't eat any of them, red or morels. I do love scouring the woods for them though. It's just a great time to be outdoors.

What I'm seeing is they sell for a good bit, too. $30-50 per pound? Damn.

My family would murder me in my sleep if I sold any of them.

Hahaha.... so then I understand why you hunt them. I've never had 'em, I wanna find some and try 'em out. See if it's worth the time and effort.

Back when fuel was high, and the drought was terrible, it was cheaper to buy them than to keep going to your places and find nothing lol.

I've heard of people eating them with no problems and then I've heard the opposite. I don't wanna chance it. Plus, the morels I find usually outnumber the false ones 20 to 1.


Eggwash, dipped in breadcrumbs and fried seems to be a standard. I've had good luck washing them, breading them and freezing them. When ready to use, don't thaw out, just place in hot oil.

How do you folks eat them?

Morels rank up there with Sex, or close to it
