Yup, its bout that time again. Hunting the wild mushroom. Namely Morels. I know its hunting, cuz ya dont go pickin or scavenging or foraging. No, rather ya always go hunting for shrooms, or mushrooms.
Also its time for ticks to be out in full force. I kinda believe that the ticks are guards for mushrooms, since the shrooms dont have any kinda natural defense system in place. Once ya find a tick, ya automatically think ya found several more scampering all over yer body, which in turn takes yer mind off of what you were set out to hunt for.
If you can get by the tick guards and find a mushroom, look all around nearby. Alotta times several more will be close by. Not always tho. Sometimes I have found as many as a dozen in a fifty foot radius. Other folks brag bout finding hundreds in a patch. I also know that the same type of folks fish as well. And well, ya know the big one that got away........ Another thing I dont understand, is why anyone would count that many. I stop counting after my hat or shirt tail is full.
I will let ya in onna lil known secret on where to look for mushrooms. Try looking near dead trees, live trees, buck brush, honeysuckle, may apples, apple trees, elm trees, oak trees, walnut trees, (but not so much evergreen trees) green grass anything else green or brown or any combination of such. And or where ever you find a tick or group of ticks. If ya find a big group of ticks, you can bet their protecting sumpthin.
Meybe we can find some recipes ta put in the wild game section.
Happy Hunting!!!!

Then I hear about someone that just kicked one and died from inhaling the spores that flew up in the air, it was that poisonous! Still wish I knew, beyond any doubt though, which were the good ones and which weren't. I have a few mushroom recipes, but they are for the ones you buy at the store, don't know if it would work the same. How do you generally cook them? ..... the ones you "hunt"
