Well as you may know its Morel season and today I found my first 19 for the season, a few yellows but mostly greys. Don't worry guys, I was really hunting for real mushrooms - not like the backwards parking dudes that cruse the forest preserves claim thats what they are doing but really they are doing something else. :laughing7:

Well after the hunt I strung them up and dried them out and now they will always be on hand for whenever. If you hunt for morels let me know as I would love to go out again and get as much as possible this season. :icon_pirat:

Great job,
though I'd be careful putting together the phrases "in the woods", "got lucky" and "mushroom hunting" :laughing9: Just kidding of course...

LOL.... even after survival school yrs ago in the military I don't trust anything I find in the woods. But than again I occasionally eat in a fast food joint.
