Not as good as gold, but at least as good as silver (and they taste better)!

Grew up in Ohio and "hunted" shrooms for 40 years! Moved to Georgia 4 years ago and haven't got to hunt them since. I gotta agree that's a fine find!

I used to hunt certain species of edible wild mushrooms avidly, and will still pick those I know to be tasty whenever I encounter them. Finding morels is a joy because of their distinctive appearance, but in all candor I never found them to be especially tasty, and for this reason I now let them be, preferring to admire them in the field. I have eaten them sauteed in butter, with and without the recommendation (made by a French chef) to add a bit of lemon juice to them. Whether dried or fresh from the apple orchard or woods (where they are most likely to be found), I have always found them to be tasteless, and their texture rather unpleasantly rubbery. I'm much more enthusiastic about the taste of chanterelles, horse mushrooms, and a few other species. Many edible wild mushrooms, despite being highly touted for their flavor, are actually very bland (they are often described euphemistically, and more than a little disingenuously, as having a "delicate" flavor). In any event, I do love to find the mysterious morel. If anyone has a recipe that might make me revise my opinion as to their flavor - or lack thereof - I'd be glad to know about it. It might motivate me sufficiently to get off my duff and interrupt my other pursuits, like looking for silver coins, and resume morel hunting, something I haven't done for a good ten years. In my area, they are most likely to occur around the first week in May.

The grays and blacks, dredged in flour and fried in butter with a little garlic salt and seasoned pepper, are wonderful. The yellows are best dried and then added to sauces throughout the year.

That picture of the yellow monsters was four or five years ago. We got ten gallons of morels out of our back yard that year.

 

[silverthorn]

Yes, yes, yes !! Takes me back to the old days on the farm!

MM..MM...MM!!! Now that's a true Appalachian treasure.
We always find the big yellers near openings in the woods or field edges or under apple trees in the yard, the small black'n'greys in the woods under big poplar trees( there my favorite) and the half free (long neck with the brownish cap unattached at the bottom) on the northern side of the hill under tall oaks. Watch out for the false ones!!!!

[gmstreet]

I shur know shrooms fried in butta, stewed ramps in vinegar and bacon greese, wit last years canned tah maters with a dab 'o' cottage cheese tastes mighty fine!!!

[silverthorn]

They DO grow in Up State New York. Michigan too. They like to grow on areas where wood (branches) have rotted away. Make sure you have a real Morel. There are look-alike mushrooms that are toxic.

 

[rebelLT]

KShunter. I agree, Crappie and shrooms. Even the much vaunted walleye cant match the taste. And both the shroom and the crappie are in season. I gotta go charge up the boat today!
