Morels Yet Anyone?

[av8r]

A couple of us went over to our regular hunting areas over around Canton lake. NOTHING!!!!! Looked like a lot of activety under the cedars and other places we usually find Morels. Don't know if it was hogs, armadillos, or just too early. Will try again this comming weekend.

Is that what they look like cooked up? If so, they don't get any prettier do they? LOL

I think the hogs in my area ate all of the morells. every tree i would think they should be under had been rooted by hogs all the way around it.

I need to do a little research on this. I hit one of my favorite spots this afternoon, and found rooting signs around every elm tree and brush pile. I know its armadillo's doing the rooting as we don't have piggy's yet, but I've always wondered if any wildlife uses the morels as a food source.

Anybody have any experience?

Dennis, mushrooms are just like acorns. You can bet your bottom dollar that the critters will jump on them.

I had ribeye steak tonight with morels.
Awesome! learned a little lesson tonight.
I put the morels in unsalted butter vs regular butter, as recomended by a friend. I've noticed less of a twang with the unsalted butter. Added some garlic powder, and onion powder while the butter was melting, and its really did the steak well.

Found 7 growing out behind the chicken coop last night.
Never saw them there before. They were delicious.

Got to go to a new place on saturday that was loaded with them. Bad thing was that pretty much all of them were dried up. Went ahead and picked some just for fun. These were starting to mold and were very brittle.
